Boomers Outraged by "Woke" BMW Video!

German car giant BMW has outraged motorists with a controversial ‘bull***t’ online marketing video that critics say mocks its older core baby-boomer customers and denigrates one of the firm’s most successful flagship limousines - the classic 7-series.

It also appears to stoke up inter-generational conflict, portraying baby-boomers – born from 1946 to 1964 – as an angry, narrow-minded, stick-in the mud generation that doesn’t ‘listen’, condemns modern ideas as ‘bull***t’, and evokes the response: ‘It’s almost impossible to talk to your generation.’

They have pros doing this. The outrage was expected/planned. And, it's overplayed, of course. The number of boomers who are generally "outraged" is tiny.

It's biggest offense is that is fucking boring! 46 seconds in and I's had enough. 4 minutes of my life for this boring crap? Nope.

Ironic, in that those born between 1946 and 1964 were the demographic that bought their cars and helped BMW bloom from a small German company with dark Nazi connections into the company they are today. Foolish marketing that won’t work.

Too long.

Too long and not entertaining. Makes everything unappealing. Also there is nothing woke about the young car.

Nobody is outraged by this. Nobody.

It's boneheaded.
