yay, racist ads....

[thorpypoo]

Those who think this is racist could you explain why you think that?

This ad only has racist undertones if you are one of those people who are looking for them everywhere.

[zimbobwe1980]

Yeah my dad did this advert, won silver award at cannes im pretty sure.

It is strange how the meaning of an ad can change over time. You can smile and laugh at how funny it is, or think of how it has racist undertones. Time really changes perception.

[zimsean]

Brilliant! Does anyone have the Heinz baked beans advert?
