I get the feeling its a failed attempt to be funny by referencing the Christmas sales events that car dealerships always have.
failed attempt
WRONGO!
I mean everyone's scratching their heads and not finding it funny or anything, so I'd say yeah, failed attempt.
everyone
No, not everyone.
I guess they don’t celebrate Truck Month or the Sign Then Drive event? Losers!
I prefer Trarch to Trucktober.
Don’t forget Truckuary.
Don't worry. That's when I got my Ferd F-teenthousand.
Okay I get that there are a lot of car sales seasons or something but I don't get the relationship between the heterosexuality and Kia. Does Kia have a reputation for being super heterosexual or something? Or against lgbt/pride movement?
No it doesn’t. Kia just has a sales event that overlaps with gay month.
instead of pride month, it's the kia summer sales event. I guess it's supposed to be a joke implying it's the only thing straight people have to celebrate this month.
This is a very US centric joke.
I popped in to say the same.
Y’all must not be from the US, or must have really good ad blockers.
The number of people not from the US is actually surprisingly large.
Nah
I'm not from the US, correct, and am very happy with my ad blockers, correct. I'm still hoping I can make sense of this post eventually
Kia pushes a huge ad campaign every summer
US here, but yes really good ad blockers. Degoogled phone, ublock, ...
Degoogled phone
is it a pixel? or is this also somehow possible with other phones?
Ironically, Google Pixels are great for degoogling. Yeah this is a Pixel 7. Also did this to a Pixel 4A5G.
Mine has CalyxOS installed, but you can also try Graphene or Lineage. Each choice will let you know the supported phones on their site.
yeah so I'm going to need a new phone in the near future and was considering a degooglable one but it feels conflicting to buy one from google
Calyxos supports fairphone and some others. Dunno about the other os'
I hear that. Felt the same.
I have really good ad blockers then.
I think it’s somebody trying to be passive, aggressive, but the fact that I have to say, I think proves the level of thought that went into it.
Car dealership sale season
As a straight man I finally feel seen.
Same, and ironically I own a Kia,
Is there any deep meaning into why this was scribbled on instead of just cropped?
I specifically included the outside and censored it because I felt the Facebook context added to it.
Just posting this meme on its own doesn't nearly have the effect if you don't know it was posted by a middle aged person.
On some mobile Screenshot editors the scribble tool is the first to see, and apparently easier for some PPL than the crop tool,
They just didn't think of it I guess
It adds a folksy flair.
To suggest where the meme was taken from (if it wasn't abundantly clear already...)
Sir and/or Ma'am, this is a Chevrolet household! Good DAY
Gay people don’t drive KIAs, being the joke here?
I don't think I need any help having sex.
