Levi’s Airs Controversial Youth Rioters Ad During Football Game: ‘Go Forth’

Levis Airs Pulled Go Forth Riot Ad During U.S. Football Game

On Monday night, I jumped out of bed after seeing something startling on TV. See, I decided to turn in a little early and watch the Rams-Giants game before dozing off. But about a half hour into it, I saw something shocking. It wasn’t a commercial for the latest horror flick, or a wardrobe malfunction. Instead, it was a jeans ad. A Levi’s jeans ad.

But it wasn‘t just any Levi’s jeans ad. No, this ad showed young people reveling in rioting. There was one young person riding his bike through tear gas, a mob of young people marching, and to top it off a young man shown taunting riot police.

That was enough to make me sit straight up.

I quickly rushed to the living room, and luckily I was recording the game. I rewound it and recorded what I saw (forgive the quality, it was taken from my phone):

But if the images weren’t surprising enough, how about the narration (which is a recitation of parts of Charles Bukowski’s poem, The Laughing Heart)?

Your life is your life. Don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission. Be on the watch. There are ways out. The gods will offer you chances. Know them. Take them. Your life is your life. Know it while you have it. You are marvelous. The gods wait to delight in you.

And all that while showing scenes of rioting. Is it not obvious what message the ad is sending?

Levis Airs Pulled Go Forth Riot Ad During U.S. Football Game

Actually, it seems it is. See, after researching the ad, I came across some curious information. A version of it  — which is part of Levi’s “Go Forth” campaign — was actually pulled in the UK because it was too controversial. It seem even the tolerant Brits understood what it was saying.

This is the version from the UK that was considered too hot for TV:

The Guardian reported on the ad being pulled last month:

Levi’s has withdrawn an advertising campaign that features a young man squaring up to riot police after a public outcry that it glorified the recent public disorder across the country.

The advert, which Levi’s launched on Facebook on Tuesday night, was due to be aired on television and in cinemas.

The “Levi’s Legacy“ advert shows a young man squaring up to a line of riot police officers as the voiceover says ”you’re marvelous”. The 60-second film ends with the words “Go Forth”.

A spokesman for Levi Strauss said the company had “temporarily postponed” the advertising campaign, but it will still run in other countries.

A spokeswoman for Levi’s also tried to explain the ad in general terms, but may have done more harm than good:

“Now, more than ever, the world needs inspiration. The world needs people with a pioneering spirit who still believe that anything is possible. Our 60-second ‘Go Forth’ film and digital engagement programme recognise people around the globe who are stepping forward to transform the world.” [Emphasis added]

And the images are definitely of riots. The Guardian says they’re supposed to represent the May Day riots in Berlin.

Levis Airs Pulled Go Forth Riot Ad During U.S. Football Game

Now, this would be the point where I tell you that in the past, Levi’s wanted nothing to do with encouraging riots or uprisings, and that their global president has denounced them categorically, right? Wrong. In fact, Robert Hanson, global president of the Levi’s brand, told Reuters as recently as July that the company couldn’t help but see a correlation between unrest by young people across the globe and its “Go Forth” campaign:

Levi Strauss is echoing uprisings across the Arab world with a “Go Forth” campaign aimed at attracting youthful customers to a jeans brand that was once one of the most coveted in the world.

Fed up with high unemployment, rising food prices and repression, popular uprisings led mainly by young people overthrew governments in Tunisia and Egypt earlier this year. Libyan rebels are attempting to overthrow ruler Muammar Gaddafi, while protests and demonstrations have rocked governments in Bahrain, Yemen, Syria and swept across other parts of North Africa and the Middle East.

Robert Hanson, Global President of the Levi’s brand, said the global marketing campaign was based on research done over the past year that showed young people felt that it was their duty to improve the world.

“We’ve always been about embodying the energy and events of our times and this campaign is about returning to the pioneering spirit of the brand,” he told Reuters in an interview late on Wednesday. “Today, optimism is power.”

He said change in the Middle East has been enabled by borderless communication and the kind of young people that the Levi’s brand would like to be embraced by.

“You‘ve got young people showing up saying let’s galvanise the power of our collective force, work hard to make the world a better place,” Hanson said. “And what better brand than Levi’s? We‘re doing a lot of innovative things in our products and stores to have them choose Levi’s as the uniform of progress.” [Emphasis added]

And this would be the point where I ask some rhetorical questions such as “Why?” But it seems we have our answer: it’s profitable, and Levi’s wants to be the “uniform of progress,” however progress is attained.

Unfortunately, I can’t even watch a football game in bed without this stuff hitting me over the head. Add that to the list of things that are depressing about this whole thing.

    Note the black winged “angel” image at the beginning of the ad – this is classic satan
    working through a product that is aimed at the younger generation.

    Re-watch the ad – and note just how many sin activity or satanic influence you see.

    Remember – the end days and satan will be so good at what he’s doing that even the elect,
    if it were possible, would be deceived – if God did not shorten the days.

      Ah yes, the Red flag in the middle of the rioting crowd. Well isn’t that dandy?

      Apparently Levis no longer wishes to endorse the free market (not sure if it did before to be honest). Clearly they are endorsing the notion that the masses own the means of production, and hence, the product of those means. So as others are saying, they are forthrightly telling kids to take their product for free.

      Were I another jeans/denim company I’d take that idea and run with it, with the American flag blazing on the television screen. “Levis are free! Take them at will!”

      I am a Bukowski fan, big time. As for this ad calling people to riot, people will either riot, or not riot, based on many factors, and this ad isn’t going to weigh into it very much, if any. The riots will come, ad or no ad. We need better leadership in this country. Washington is over-bloated, corrupt, greedy, pathetic. We need hope and change, and the best change would be Obama out of the white house and into prison.

      Yea, right. I wonder how Robert Hanson would feel if our socialist government decided that everyone had a right to a pair of Levi’s. Sounds like a good idea to me.

      Free Levi’s for everyone. Everyone go to your local store that carries Levi’s and pick out a pair your size and just walk out of the store with them. Don’t be clubbed into submission just because there is a law against stealing.

      Another Satanic message straight from the pits of HELL.

      Your life is your life? Yes it is but it should be lived in a responsibable manner not in chaos.

      The Gods await to delight in you? So there are more than one? False gods yes….millions of them and there is no light in them.

      Dont let it be clubbed into submission? The only way this happens is if you become a violent unruly protester who is destroying other peoples property.

      There is light somewhere? Yes there is light somewhere but you will not find it in this commercial nor its product the America Levi jeans because they are fabric that wears out. Jesus words never wear out and have stood the test of time. He is the truth, the way and the life.

      A motor on an upside down executive table? Really? Even civilized people want tables to eat from.

      There may not be much light but it beats the darkness. In other words your in the shadows not the light where men do dark deeds because they hate the light and love the darkness.

      This guy OBTW sounds like he is trying to be a Indian sage of sorts.

      Be on the watch , the gods (false) will offer you chances? So in other words he encourages them because the gods again are on their side in this struggle against evil. Know them, take them. How can you know them and take them….if you follow his advice you’ll be running head long into darkness wondering which path is the correct one to take…in chaos they all look the same.

      Wrangler is a fantastic company. They support rodeo, barrel racing and bull riding events that are family oriented. At every event, we unapologetically fly the flag at every event, we play the National Anthem (and yes, we remove our hats) and we pray before every event for God’s watchful eye and protection for both cowboy and stock.

      And they’ve been supporting us for decades.

I contacted them about their anti-2nd amendment stance … apparently that was the tip of the ice berg. Glad I’ve bought none from them in at least 2 decades … and won’t buy any in the future either. They are like so many, the uber-rich socialists. They want to keep their massive wealth, but distribute the wealth of the rest of us. (Soros, most of Hollywood, Buffett, etc.). I have nothing against the uber-rich … unless they want to part me from my $s to assuage their conscience.

      My answer: After watching your latest commercial that got pulled from the U.K. airwaves (glorifying rioters, thieves and anarchists?!) and your stance concerning the Boy Scouts of America and the 2ND Amendment, I have made the decision to never buy your products again.

      2nd box: What impact are they having on their community?
      My answer: To better inform my neighbors and other individuals of what stances you have taken the aforementioned issues and by also telling them in what ways the money they pay to buy your products is being used for (your yanked t.v. commercial in the U.K. as an example).

      Likewise! I only feel a twinge of guilt for the workers they will have to lay off because of the reduced sales this socialist mantra will cause. Otherwise, goodbye, Levi’s, I will never purchase your product again.

      our families are all immigrants in this country many gave their lives to protect our freedom we do not need. we already have a democracy. The biggest problem we have in this country is black leaders NOT teaching that we are all equal & hard work & education makes one attain a better life not expecting the government to take of you tell you what to do which is the same as slavery like Allen West says remenber evthing was provided for the slaves

    When has the world ever been improved by rioting, vandalism and looting? Brilliant Levis.

      False. Freedom of speech means that even messages you do not like get to be exposed to the light of day. Censorship is the last thing we want to advocate, because as soon as it becomes justified by our demands then we become a target for the progressives and you can bet your last dollar that our message disappears from all outlets overnight.

      The solution to most problems does NOT involve removing liberty.

      I support gun control – practice until you can draw and put at least one magazine in the 10 ring.
      Wife and I both can do this in less tha 60 seconds – thats gun control.
      At 50 meters I can put an entire 30 round mag on the target and don’t fool with our 20 gauge pump.
      I recommend the AK47 or SKS over the M16 variants as they are cheaper and the ammo is plentiful
      and inexpensive.

    “Now, more than ever, the world needs inspiration. The world needs people with a pioneering spirit who still believe that anything is possible. Our 60-second ‘Go Forth’ film and digital engagement programme recognise people around the globe who are stepping forward to transform the world.”

    Maybe these kids should “visit” a Levi’s factory or store and “go forth” with some free jeans. I’m not advocating a riot, just wanting the Levi’s folks to experience the “going forth” they advocate. No-wut-um-sayin?
