I don't like the Lawyer ads either. I especially don't like when the lawyers have Hip-hop or R&B playing in the ad like we're supposed to believe that he listens to that. C'mon now. Then you actually go into the office and there is not ONE minority person working there.
Tell me about it! Out here in Oakland, CA they have a channel called SoulBeat- the only black owned channel in the Bay Area. Their commercials are so tacky and stereotypical, it just makes me shake my head ... Especially those "clean up your credit" commercials and those about getting a car or a loan when you have bad credit-talk about being embarrassed for the person that actually acted in the commercial! They couldn't pay me enough
