Wow. I saw the first one, and thought, "I can see how he can get away with that; racist portrayals of Asians are still quite prevalent and not often commented on," then continued watching the other two. The best is the pride he has at the end of each ad, taking off the costume and showing you that not only is he owner of the dealership, he's your local minstrel as well!

It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

I think you're missing the joke in that commercial, but I do question why they are pushing the move your TV anywhere aspect so much. I have no desire to move my TV anywhere, although it would be nice to not have to deal with cables all over the place, which they don't directly mention, but it's essentially still said. I do hate that it seems like I have to see this commercial on every commercial break, for every show I watch.

I hate the Brand Power and Nutri-facts commercials or whatever they're called. They're just so bare-bones and dull, I just don't get it. I complain about commercials not even being relevant to the product they're advertising, but I don't want this extreme either. It's like they use some fill-in the blank sheet for every single product.

*Music plays as Brand Power/Nutrition Facts (circle one) appears on screen* __________ (product name) is a food/drink/vitamin (circle one) that can help ______________ (what product is for) and makes your life healthy/easy (circle one). Buy it today. *End commercial*

I think the issue is that it's hard to make the cable issue a selling point of the service, but it's in the back of everyone's mind when they see it, I'm sure.

It's kind of like the waterproof Samsung cell phone commercial where they don't show it falling in a toilet.

It's part of the mystique that they want for their advertising. It is a real 3rd party, but what they aren't disclosing is that they aren't a consumer advocate company like Consumer reports, but is a marketing company. They make the ads, and the actual company agrees to pay them and run it. It's extremely dishonest but because it's done so cheaply in a lame way everyone just assumes they really wanted it to look like a infomercial.

Also, they imply this: There are X number of TV's in the house, and there are X+1 different people that want to watch different shows, yet the TV having the ability to be moved anywhere is somehow going to allow you to watch SpongeBob? If Dad is watching his dumb show, and Mom is watching her dumb show, and there are only 2 TV's in the house, it doesn't matter that you can move the TV in the basement, the garage or put it on the roof. You are not watching what you want until later.

1) Relatively Cheap
2) When you own your business a lot of times you got there because you put in hours doing every job as needed on the business until you could afford to hire people to take the workload. This tends to result in thinking that if you can be an salesman/manager/accountant/HR then surely you can do creative work as well.

For how much you see things saying people hate racism, a lot of the public REALLY REALLY REALLY loves racism.

Here is a quote from fox news: ""Yet it is males who suffer in our society. From boyhood through adulthood, the White American Male must fight his way through a litany of taunts, assumptions and grievances about his very existence. His oppression is unlike anything American women have faced. Unlike women, however, men don’t organize and form groups when they’ve been persecuted. They just bow out of the game."

Yeah, well back in MY day, we DID watch tv in whatever room we wanted. Because we used rabbit ears. Instead of expensive cable service. And the tvs were small enough to carry. And were black and white. And required pliers to change the vhf dial. And we liked it! Now get off my lawn! :corsair:
