Bet ya ten bucks...

...a white guy approved the final script. Maybe after calling his "black friend."



Holla!

I first heard this during my commute to work yesterday, when I switched over to Free Beer and Hot Wings during a Mike & Mike commercial break.

I almost got into an accident I was laughing so hard.

"Do ya thing. Y’know, let it do what it do. On the real. It’s off the hook."

And while we're at it, this may be the best "worst local ad" ever!


This couch is perfect for a black person or a white person!

Great commercial? Or the greatest commercial?

Lindsay Lohan needs to earn her coke money somehow, and acting sure ain't gonna do it.



Does anyone know what's going on here? And can you imagine a worse reading of anything? She was given a whopping 9 12 words and still couldn't add any punch, passion, personality, sass, sexy, anything.

Hey, we need some diversity in this here ad

Cool, boss, I'll just throw a black chick in there somewhere. And some more white dudes of various size.

And while we're at it: let's play count the legs!

Is this really that difficult?

So I'm listening to ESPN radio as usual, and an ad comes up for a local nightclub. The music kicks in, and it's Zoot Suit Riot by the Cherry Poppin' Daddies. "Hey," I think, "That would be a fun show to see!"

Cue voiceover: "Coming to Vapor, on August 22nd, the Squirrel Nut Zippers."

What?! Not one person who threw this ad together knew the difference? Or did they, and were they hoping people who vaguely remember the swing resurgence of the early-mid 90s would remember that they liked that one song, but not the name of the band? Even so, it's not like people wouldn't remember Hell.

As cynical as I can be about advertising, my money's on stupidity.
