Smarties Commercial: A Positive Message?
This commercial, aside from being catchy and all that, really has got me thinking about the message behind the songs/images.
Lyrics:
Sometimes I'm right, but I can be wrong
My own beliefs are in my song
A blue one, a pink one, a purple and then...
Makes no difference what group I'm in
We gotta live together
I am everyday people
and then the slogan, "Smarties: Show your Colours".
Definitely a play on different races and how the different colors in Smarties represent racial diversity.... yes?
Also, this commercial marks a change from the old smarties slogan: "When I eat my Smarties, I eat the red ones last".
I must say, I like the new message. Obviously comparing separating your Smarties to racial segregation is kinda silly, but I like the idea regardless.
