Thread regarding Mattel Inc. layoffs

Notice how every commercial has a multi cultural couple?

Except for fisher-price of course. The tone deafness of mattel continues on throughout the holidays.

FP particularly white-minded. The region is not diverse at all

fisher-price and their EA campus should be folded into ES like so many other businesses we’ve acquired. They’re a good 25 years past their expiration date. close that podunk dump already.

@2ped @3uxu You do know adoption is a thing, right? That blood does not make a family?

When I see a parent of an obviously different race to the child in a commercial, I think how bad the marketing team must be. I'm just not buying it.

fisher-price hasn’t made a decent toy in years. we should sell off the property so EA can have another hockey rink or a safe shoot up site for the podunk junkies.

I remember a few years ago, Fisher-Price opened a new photo studio in Buffalo near Delaware Park so they'd have access to more not-white kids for their package photography. Is that studio still in use?

Not sure how mixed race couples are tone deaf.

Once and a while you'll see an advertisement with, for example, a white mother and her black baby, which I always think is sort of an odd choice. I get that typically both the "parent" and babies and unrelated models, but I think companies should at least make an effort to hire people who look like they're at least plausibly related.

Believe it or not, there are still couples of the same culture.
