New in PJ Media:
Audi wants to sell you a car, and since we live in woke clown world, Audi execs apparently decided that the best way to induce you to choose their product over all the other automobiles on the market was to put out a video celebrating diversity. Now, speaking strictly for myself, this is a real champion move. When I’m shopping for a car, absolutely tops on my list is not whether it offers a smooth ride, gets good gas mileage, is well-built, and is comfortable, but whether its automotive sponsors have put out enough videos featuring happy brown people in all manner of colorful costumes. In that department, Audi is way out front. But like so many woke Leftist corporations, in their haste to celebrate all this diversity, they’ve stepped on a rake; the ad features a symbol of radical intolerance and misogyny amid all the exotica. Nice way to spoil the party, Audi!
Audi tweeted the video with the heading: “For #EUDiversityMonth, #Audi is setting an example when it comes to #diversity. This video shows what that means and why diversity is only effective through #inclusion. #CelebrateDiversity.” It starts out in ominous black and white, as a male (sorry if I misgendered any voice actors!) voice intones dramatically, “A world devoid of different shapes. A world devoid of different designs.” Then Audi’s four-ring logo appears in brilliant rainbow colors, as the voice, a bit happier now, proclaims, “The four rings stand for being colorful.” The ominous music gives way to a pulsing, upbeat theme, as the announcer continues, “The four rings stand for being diverse. The four rings stand for individuality.” All the while, we are treated to images of wonderfully diverse, colorful people, who no doubt all think exactly the same way. “We live diversity,” says Audi’s voice. “Audi together.” The ad ends with the four rings, again in the rainbow colors, with “#WeLiveDiversity” written underneath.
How wonderful! Audi lives diversity, while all the other auto manufacturers are doubtless wearing Klan robes and trying to sign up Bull Connor as a pitchman. In reality, of course, this is just more of the dreary Leftist agitprop that we’re inundated with everywhere every day, and it should make any Americans who are tired of being relentlessly propagandized less likely, not more likely, to buy an Audi.
But there is a fly in Audi’s diversity ointment. As the announcer declares that “the four rings stand for being colorful,” a woman in a black hijab, staring straight at the camera with absolute solemnity, slowly lifts up a gay rainbow flag that she is holding in both hands. In this, we see once again that the Left’s grand coalition of allegedly marginalized communities cannot possibly hold, because it is riven with internal contradictions that are becoming increasingly obvious.
There is more. Read the rest here.

What is the purple circle meant to highlight on the photo at the top of this article? It circles an area on a car hood that shows a Ukranian(?) blue-and-yellow patch.

I don’t see this, Mark. What?
somehistory says
g, look at the photo for this article on the Homepage, left side. there is a car with a blue circle. I also wondered about that.

I’m not sure but I think it may be highlighting the LGBT rainbow flag type design in the paint job or car wrap. It might have something to do with the previous story here about Audi getting blasted over the lesbian kiss between two hijab wearing muslimas in a previous “diversity” ad.
libertyORdeath says
Sorry, it was a hijab wearing muslima holding a LGBT flag in the previous story

Hijabbed Woman Holding Gay Flag? Cognitive dissonance much?
The Leftards are breathing their own exhaust. They are delusional.
mortimer says
They want us to celebrate differences of race, but NOT differences of thought.
They are trying to convince Muslims to accept the gay movement as a valid part of Islam.
Sharia law is 100% irreconcilable with the gay movement.
mortimer says
And on Planet Reality … a Muslim soccer player just REFUSED to wear a jersey that PROMOTED the GAY MOVEMENT!
Why does Audi believe he did that?
Westman says
A black hood with a denim jacket, the latest in fashion and color matching to boot; all the rage….
And a Muslim woman(guessing a woman) carrying the LGBQ+++ rainbow flag. How inclusive!
How is it possible for auto execs to look under the hood of an Audi and yet never look under the hood of Islam to see their “diversity” image is actually an insult to Islam?

Diversity Follies: Audi Ad Features Hijabbed Woman Holding Gay Flag
…………
More absurd “wokeness”–and this one, like a lot of others, backfired.
Never mind that this Hijabbed woman with a rainbow flag is likely an Infidel model in a headscarf.
mortimer says
A Muslim woman who dressed like that would be punished for dishonoring her family and Islam.
libertyORdeath says
Not sure why but I can’t get to the full article at PJ. When I click the PJMedia or here links it takes me to the tweet by Audi.
Michael says
A fast and fragmented version of Coca Cola’s ‘I’d like to teach the world to sing’
A scrap book of expensive images, signifying nothing.
OLD GUY says
Don’t these high paid executives know that under Islam there is no DIVERSITY? These adds won’t make me think about buying an Audi.
