Quote:I was a little shocked by the 84 Lumber commercial romanticizing, what appeared to be, a journey and illegal entry across the border by a mother and her young daughter. Of course they want you to hit up their website to see the ending, which I won't do. What they conveniently omit are the human traffickers who commonly prey on people like this. The rapes, murders, kidnappings, and extortions are inconsequential when there's lumber to sell and a big meany president to taunt.

I had the same reaction but I didn't see it on TV I missed it. I saw it on the web and so it ends with the mother and daughter staring at this gigantic wall. The little girl pulls out a flag she's made our or scrap on the journey. The mother on verge of giving up hope sees a light coming through the wall and then they discover a giant wood door opened slightly. They walk through the door and it reads something like hard work or endurance is always welcome here.


I thought about what the message could mean, I heard someone on the radio give a summary saying the door was legal immigration and it was saying hard work and persistence is always welcomed that's why we build doors in the wall.


I think it was piss poor advertising since I have no idea what message they where trying to sell but it was effective in making me think about it?


Hasn't changed how I feel about lumber 84 frankly I have no feelings about them. They sell lumber to contractors I'm not a conteactor.


I don't know I get some of the advertising was political in nature, I didn't see anything to get bothered by. I really liked the were on for four years of bad hair by the shampoo company that made me laugh. And the Buick cam Newton commerical was my favorite.
