Idiots on Thanksgiving.

“....the true story of Thanksgiving is how socialism failed...”

And people listen to this. Willingly. And regularly. Be frightened....

N-Word Cognac.

Snoop Dogg Landy Challenge from Nicolas DORETTI on Vimeo.

Somewhere around 20 seconds or so, when you see the bottle of Cog-nac dressed like a church-lady. The Dream says, "I know you love when a N-(bomb) break it down."

I mean....uf that quote alone doesn't make you watch the spot, I dont know what will. Anywhooo....Craig over at KMBA wrote up a lil post on using the N-Word in spots and raises the question after a hysterica albeit relevant intro: Does the N-word transcend profanity to the majority of African Americans and should we be using it in commercials?

My opinion...well, it's for a type of cognac. Black people drink cognac. The spoc it ridiculously not about or saying anything. The Dream is sooooo 2 years ago. But no, the N-word doesnt transcend a damn thing. It should not be used is spots for cognac.

Read, and respond. And yes, that is liquor bottle dressed up like a church lady.

And they say we don't have freedom of Speech.

"That would be like saying, well there's there are a lot of people who like to use drugs so let's go ahead and accommodate those who want to use drugs. There are some people who believe in incest, so we should accommodate them. There are people who believe in polygamy, should we accommodate them?"

-and again-

"Why do you get to choose that two men are OK but one man and three women aren't OK?"

-and again-

"I don't have to prove that marriage is a man and a woman in a relationship for life...they have to prove that two men can have an equally definable relationship called marriage, and somehow that that can mean the same thing."

-Mike Huckabee,

Arkansa Governer speaks his mind about gay rights.

He says these statments were taken out of context...the context obviously being blind ignorance.

The "N" Word.

MTLB tries to tackle the use of the "N" word. It's interesting. I suggest you put this on as background noise while you go one with your work day. It's a good listen. Check it here.

It's interesting to hear ad people try to breakdown it's usage.

You know what Australia...you are Racist.

I'm not sure how I missed this but....

"Ever find yourself in an awkward situation with those noisy negroes that just won't shut up. You've tried watermelon waving, introducing new dance moves and even hypoglycemic coma inducing, sugar thickened, "red" flavored Cool-aid. Nothing seems to work! Well KFC has the deep fried solution for all your rambunctious crowd dampening needs. See the B.S. above."- KMBA

And then we move onto the KFC spot in Korea. And then the American KFC spot pulls out this sh*t. It's like the world KFC conglomerate got together and was like, "let's see how insensitive and racist we can be." Shocked and Appalled. Shocked. And. Appalled.

Indonesians want to be Black.

Stole this from CopyRanter. It's an ad for Clove Cigarettes. The idea and the sell and the Indonesian TA is supposedly as follows:

"...todays young adult Indonesians, our targets, want to be the actors of their life and stay true to their self. They are doers who dont want to be in the same position as the older generation. They aspire to have a different narration and fight to achieve their ambition and dreams they are a generation of starters who take action while others are waiting. They are todays modern heroes the action generation. Brand A is the pioneering, daring spirit of progressive Indonesia. And thats why Brand A is by their side as they Go Ahead."

So todays average Indonesian that smokes this brand of cloves want to be a better version of themselves, which involves black face??? Crazy, black, skinny doppelgangers. Within the past 2 weeks, this has been the 3rd incident of  blackface. I'm seriously missing something....

Blackface is really in now.

French Vogue decided to do blackface. I mean....I'm kinda at a loss for words here. Why didn't they just hire black models? Beacause they are trying to be offinsive and stir up controversy with no regard to the impact of an entire culture, a history of struggle and/or the possible backlash. But that is the very definition of the racial divide, in and of itself. It's like last weeks episode of Madmen, when Betty Draper said Civil Rights wasn't meant to happen at that particular moment in time. I got really irrate and yelled "slut" at the tv like she was real person. It's that indifference that always surprises me. It's never the act itself. It's the indifference. 

I can hear the editors say now....

"Oh yea...we didnt know that was still an issue." 

You f*cktards, it's always an issue.

“Rather than everyone here having to learn Chinese — I understand it’s a rather difficult language — do you think that it would behoove you and your citizens to adopt a name that we could deal with more readily here?” 

-said Texas State Rep. Betty Brown.

Behoove....that's a word you don't hear every day. Luckily...ignorance is, a common bi-product of us Americans. How about you just learn their names so that they can have a rights they deserve. Do you have this problem when they are paying their taxes every year?

I want to meet the culturally insensitive prick who came up with this idea: Diet Tea

I want to ask a giant WTF, dumb dumb?!?!?!

But then again, you can't even be mad. You have to want to spit in the face of the person who
1) Thought this ad was brilliant
2) Paid this shit-for-brains agency to make something funny and thought that this was it
