Seriously, those commercials are the worst.
I hate the commercial of the Black mother and daughter with secrets.
Black mother: I paid a guy $200 to take you to prom.
Black daughter: Whatever Raekwon from around the way is taking me to the prom.
SECRET DEODORANT. Blah blah blah

I feel the same way about the one that advertises the Black Male who sings "Unbreak my heart" in the valley girl voice. I think that commercial is so degrading to African American men. He looks like a dayum fool sitting on that workout bench in them lil biddy azz shorts and singing that dayum song!

I don't think that Capital One commercial is anymore degrading to black men as a whole than the one with the two old ladies tlaking like rednecks is degrading to little old ladies.
I personally think it's pretty funny. No idea how it looks bad for black men as a whole.

I think that Cap. One commercial with Unbreak my Heart is funny. Besides, when's the last time you saw Dinka?

This one I really hate...
I just saw the commercial advertising one of mercedes benz's sports coupe. It has a man leaving his office job and hopping into his benz, then the next thing you know he his pulling up the the red carpet at the club with his girl. The whole time the commercial is playing, you hear the new '06 remix to "The Jeffersons" theme ("Movin' on Up).
Now I really find this to be degrading! Why do marketing analysists insist that the only way to catch our attention in commercials is to involve snappy hip hop music or food? Could you please give my people some credit? Why we got to pull up to the club in our benz...how come we can't pull up to the White House, or pull up to the school to drop our kids off? Dayum! Dayum! Dayum!

I have two commercials I hate:
1. Those Head-On commercials. I think someone mentioned it earlier!
2. That stupid Wendy's commercial where all the people are in a forest and they are kicking the trees and this white guy is wearing a red wig looking like "Wendy" and he stops kicking his tree and looks around and says something stupid like, "why are we doing this"? "I want a fresh and juicy burger"! Then everyone starts chanting, "Fresh and Juicy Burger, Fresh and Juicy Burger" and he leads them out of the forest....HATE IT!!!!!!!!
The marketing/advertising agencies that came up with these two "gems" should be fired on the spot!
