Am I crazy, or was that the commercial where they made and released an "extended cut" to show that they had tied the guy up with the rope just to stop people complaining about the implied lynching? Or did my adolescent brain invent that story?

[-] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

No I remember that too. A guy posted the one without the guy being tied up and I swore it was cut short.

Thank you. You're doing the work of some lord or other.

[-] Nougat@fedia.io 21 points 2 years ago

“Lord” came from a phrase like “loaf warden” or “loaf guardian.” Because bread was the very important staple food, and someone had to be responsible for its safekeeping. Likewise, “Lady” comes from “loaf maiden,” presumably having something to do with the creation of bread from raw materials.

[-] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 28 points 2 years ago

I prefer to be called “loaf daddy”

Haha, oh my gosh... Pace tastes like the most disguising, sugary, boring ass salsa ever. It's wild to see they ever tried to market themselves as authentic.

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago

When it came to the pronunciation in that commercial, the very last thing they tried to market themselves as was authentic. Kinda hurt to hear.

It’s always funny to me that these billionaires have to cosplay as a badass. Can’t be your actual self, gotta always pretend to be a strong man.

[-] kn0wmad1c@programming.dev 37 points 2 years ago

And to make it worse, I'm like 85% sure that this is an AI generated image, so it's him asking AI to show him what he looks like in cosplay.

[-] steal_your_face@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago

It is AI. This is actually Elon musk in a cowboy hat:

[-] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 63 points 2 years ago

Can I just say that as someone who enjoys dressing in the fancier western getups (think Tombstone) this more cosplay-rugged look screams insecurity when worn by people trying to look... Like they do manual labor?

Like he's a billionaire. Where's the tailored frock jacket, vest, and bolo tie, with a $3k hat. At least that way he wouldn't be a poser

[-] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Or the regular, modern version: boots, jeans, belt, flannel, aaaaand $3k hat. In the summer, you swap your wool hat for straw, but don't you DARE wear short pants or a t-shirt.

[-] jagermo@feddit.org 14 points 2 years ago

Right? You can make that look cool, especially with his level of money

The delusions of the rich lmao.

Imagine being one of the literal wealthiest people on the planet and still having to play dress up so you can feel like a bad ass lmao. Hope he gets the help he needs, and I mean that sincerely.

[-] athairmor@lemmy.world 26 points 2 years ago

Not just dress up, that’s heavily edited, too.

If he goes to such lengths to make an image of what he wants to be, he must really hate what he is as much as we do.

I would pity him if he wasn’t so dangerous.

I'm totally heterosexual by the way. In case anybody would question my sexuality. But nobody would because I'm so obviously heterosexual. I mean, I drive a humongous truck, and I wear cowboy attire and I absolutely love Brokeback Mountain, the cowboy documentary, and I eat meat, and I am heterosexual, so yeah.

Let's say it wouldn't exactly shock me if Elon posted AI photos of himself looking tough.

i am positive that it is, and if not it is super airbrushed. it has that uncanny valley look. it looks about 98% human. Elon at his best looks no more than 70% human.

It’ll keep the raccoons out of the actual trash.

I'm getting a lot of Westworld players vibes from the photos in this thread.

Not the "good" players vibes, more the "I'm here to pose a badass, get drunk at the saloon, fuck a prostitute and then shoot her" vibes...

It’s hot AF is Texas. What’s with all the layers he’s wearing.

I'm not explaining this one to the kids. Someone else can.

Just cover it in the same talk as cosplay, or cultural appropriation if you're feeling cheeky.

[-] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

i think they were talking about the pace commercial reference from the "new York City" and "get a rope" lines.
