Sociologists caution against reading too much into a society’s cultural products, be they books or banner ads, but it’s impossible not to see each year’s selection of British Arrows award-winning ads as a barometer of the masses’ mood.

When the annual parade of video spots first gained Stateside popularity through holiday season screenings at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, British humor was a principal draw. Side-splitting ads have remained part of the mix, but over the decades the program has become more wide-ranging. The internet became a major medium, digital effects became routine, and onscreen representation of the nation’s diversity increased dramatically.

There’s also been a gradual deflation of the optimism following the end of the Cold War. Hot wars, global warming, resurgent authoritarianism, and the coronavirus pandemic have all contributed to a more somber mood among consumers. In marketing circles, authenticity and transparency have become watchwords for companies hoping to convince consumers they’re committed to an open and honest relationship in these challenging times.

This is all to say that this year’s British Arrows are a little moody, conveying the sense of a capitalist economy where we’re all holding hands but we can’t say whether it’s out of genuine attraction or sheer panic.

Screening next month at the Walker Art Center, because one of Minnesotans' most endearing qualities is our endless appetite for British supermarket ads.

just got a weak-ass non-reponse from one of my senators in response to the pathetic pleading our stupid fucking system forces me to have to do to stop our tax dollars from being used to murder 10,000 civilians (and counting) so out of spite here’s a handy tip for folks in the us who keep getting told to call their reps and hate the phone:

when it comes to contacting your representatives, emails are better than nothing and phone calls answered by a person do have an effect, but another hard-to-ignore way to send a message is to send a letter that politicians and their staffers have to physically handle in order to address and physically dispose of in order to ignore its contents—or, just as good as a letter, a good old-fashioned fax

i’ve been using faxzero.com. it has pages that link to pre-populated forms to directly fax your senators, congressional representatives, and governors. you can send five faxes a day for free, and if enough people do that our representatives’ offices could be filled with an obnoxious volume of paper faxes begging them to stop funding mass murder

i know a lot of leftists have mixed feelings on contacting representatives at best. personally, i hate it and usually find it a humiliating waste of political energy better spent elsewhere. however, getting politicians onboard is the fastest way to get the bombings to stop and any indignity is worth enduring if it stops the slaughter still going on as i write this. and for real, it’s easy and occasionally a little cathartic. so, please, for the sake of the millions still left in gaza, flood your shitty senator’s office until they can’t ignore us anymore

I have been doing this every day thank you so much OP. I don’t have money to send and I don’t know how well the phone calls are working, but I know they have to print or somehow deal with every fax.

Here is the link to send a free fax to your senators

And your representatives

I adapted the phone script from here, this is what I send them.

I am begging you to keep working. We cannot let this pass quietly into the background.

Her mom taught her the ancient lore. This is good.

I learned dances like this from a book.

Oh Voltaire. A delightfully silly man.

(I am An Old, and learned these dances by observing the other goths at the club.

I learned it from other nerds, but the names were slightly different. We called the sexy tree "I'm a frond of sad seaweed drifting in a black tide of despair" (it was something of a game to see if you could say the whole thing without laughing) and pulling taffy was known as "the scratching post."

There is no god. Just an overworked hack author
