Gods I watched the event thing because I was curious about the new pro model phones, and their constant blabber about carbon neutral became a meme we’re still mocking in my household.
The entire masturbatory skit about “mother Earth” is a perfect example of corporate cringe.
I know the word cringe is overused but no word fits it better.
Shameful? Mortifying? Awkward? Humiliating? Dastardly? Disgraceful? Reprehensible? Ignominious? Outrageous? Inglorious?
I can think of many other words that fit it better.
Shameful, mortifying, dastardly, and outrageous are a bit too heavy. Inglorious is a bit dated. Awkward, disgraceful, reprehensible, and ignominious are good fits. Pathetic works as well.
I’ve no idea who came up with it, and who signed off on it thinking it was a good idea. They must have paid their actors a lot to appear in that segment. I know I’d charge a lot for it.
