State Farm went woke when Jake turned black overnight.

So f'kin ignorant. The original Jake was in fact a call center employee. He had no prior acting experience and wasn't exactly a natural at it. He hasn't done any paid acting work since. You can't build a national marketing campaign with that guy.

Except that ad has become a meme, and taken ona life of its own. Seems like something you actually could build on.

But, let's say you're right. Why does that automatically mean Jake gains melanin?

I have zero ****s to give on this, but they did go "woke", or appear to have, with the change.

And you think SF with it's GDP level advertising budget doesn't know how to vet an employee for this type of campaign? They made a conscious decision here, regardless of the motivation.
