Intel revolted by its own 'insensitive and insulting' ad

Monica

I don't get it?

So I work at Intel (oh no). And you know what, 1. racism? Doubtful, Intel is the complete opposite, trying to hire only diverse candidates (not white men) and 2. what the heck is the ad supposed to mean? I get the multiply stuff of the past, not a bad idea, good music, good colours, etc, but for this ad to mean something to a lowly R&D Engineer, it would need to have a coach on a track with a whistle, not a geek in cubes surrounded by very sleek sprinters. I think Intel had some creative, EXPENSIVE people saying "the colours, light, textures, etc all 'work' ". Get over it, and stop it with the typical American hyper-sensitivity.
