What's great about the DM piece is that it provides a little more context from the report but which raise questions about using this methodology to draw such conclusions:

1) Which 'two four-week periods'?
2) How were the 250 commercials chosen?
3) How many adverts are screened annually in the UK?

Yikes. That’s terrible.

Guess he’s now tossing out the data that claims diversity correlates to gains in revenue and brand perception?

I think Rory picking up on it and thinking it’s smart enough to distribute is a ripe demonstration of implicit racism in advertising. It drives smart people to overlook obviously stupid conclusions because: vibes.

people are only x% of the population then they should only appear in x% of adverts’ is stupid to the point of demanding that we must simply see fewer black people on screen
* the author doesn’t talk about the number of *characters* in adverts which would be the fair comparison w/ population

in space and brainwash him to be pro-Soviet, Dredd comes in and assassinates him and then shoots himself. OR DOES HE. It’s so much Red Scare neurosis in comic form. Amazing stuff.

Might have been long enough to revisit! I’d like to come back to it again at some point. Haven’t played many games that left me with the feeling DE did!

Indeed. The words and lives of writers are only sacred if they're writing about the right things in the right places.
