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 months ago

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

I remember there being a bunch of rhe commercials that had different cuts and settings

We make pretty good food. Lots of people from all over the world living it up in the city.

I'd bet you can get damn good salsa, but perhaps not as easily as just talking to some gente right there in Texas.

Never been to tx, no plans to, just saying the real mexicanos will know what's up, whether in NYC or Texas.

Never seen the commercial there referencing, I take it?

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

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

I prefer to be called “loaf daddy”

As long as Mama Loaf is happy, I'm happy.

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 months 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 36 points 2 months 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 months ago

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

[-] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 61 points 2 months 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 months ago* (last edited 2 months 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 13 points 2 months 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 25 points 2 months 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.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

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.

No. Get a rope.

[-] elkalbil@jlai.lu 14 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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...

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

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

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

[-] iconic_admin@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

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

Why y'all hating on NYC salsa? Must be a reference I don't get.

Also, fuck Musk.

[-] Tenthrow@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

It’s a television commercial… (in the voice of Frau Farbissina)

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 months ago

As an American 90s kid...

There was a series of TV commercials for Pace Picante Salsa. In this series of commercials, there's a group of cowboys gathered around somewhere, like a campfire, and they're eating something Tex-Mex.

They get to comparing their salsa jars and they realize Pace is made in Texas, but "This stuffs made in New York City!", to which additional cowboys and/or extras chant in unison, "NEW YORK CITY?".
