Sexual Innuendo in the New Weird Meta Ad!
Hi kids, this is going to be a nightmare
By Youssef Chaz Chronic
If you are like many of us reading this, then you too have been confronted by the newest Meta (a.k.a Facebook) ad that came up on your phone screen as you were trying to peacefully watch a Youtube video.
You - like me - probably thought “This must be some ad for a new horror/sci fi movie. Or maybe a bizarre add for the Metropolitan Museum of Art?” But no, it was Mark Zuckerburg’s newest attempt to further enslave and fuck up even more children than his companies already have.
My initial thoughts, as I was lying in bed about to fall asleep, were “What the fuck did I just watch?!” followed by “Is there any more beer in the fridge that I can viciously chug in order to erase what my eyes have just seen?”
Aside from confusion and terror, I also couldn’t help notice how sexually charged the ad really was. I may be looking too deep into this… But it wouldn’t surprise me since sex is appealing to everyone, especially young teenage kids. What follows below is my analysis.
So at first you have the Tiger and the Buffalo and they are crouched down and the tiger is talking to the camera. The two animals are crouched down with their asses up in the air, and directly behind them is a bunch of throbbing and flopping bananas. A fruit with a lot of obvious sexual connotations. Hmm… ok moving on…
Then, the video features a plethora of animals dancing and grooving in the jungle, among which are a pair of bizarre creatures which I don’t know what the hell they are - A type of raccoon? Maybe monkeys? But the real issue here is: What is up with that look in their eyes? If you look into those eyes, you will agree with me that they are quite unsettling. Unsettling in a needy, creepy, and sexual sorta way. Are they trying to recruit the viewer into having some sort of threesome?
The video also features flamingos, ahh… flamingos here perhaps we have some respite from the madness - but no! They are seen twerking and according to this Reddit thread, flamingos are a telltale sign that someone is a swinger... Ok, I admit that’s a little bit of a stretch… But wait, there’s more!
Then, the clip cuts to showing each student by themselves, vibing to everything that’s going on, and the one with his eyes closed and the backward hat and glasses, is clearly looking like he’s having an orgasm.
Finally, it shows the crouching tiger and buffalo once again, and before the video concludes the two beasts give each other a creepy side glance that I don’t know if it even means anything, but the fact is it’s just a creepy-ass look.
Despite my initial reactions, I found the ad hauntingly mesmerizing that I had to watch the video fifteen times to formulate my argument that you have read (great work Mark!). Also, I want to mention that since doing the research I have learned about the artist whose paintings were used for this ad (several of them were combined to make the ad). He was a 19th century French artist by the name of Henri Roussou, of which I am now a fan of.
And there you have it, my analysis on the Meta ad which you didn’t ask for. Sorry if you are now yourself chugging whatever alcohol you may have at home to forget about what you just learned, or speed dialing your pharmacy to refill your sleeping pill prescription.
