WTH?

First: What's up with the bushmen? Typical racist mentality.

Second, the translation is not accurate, I can understand the language and in some parts that's NOT what they're saying. This is ignorance on rampage!

[mandmedlem]

@Phronesis7 Then please enlighten the rest of us. What language is it and what are they saying? Don't just complain. Show some evidence. And why is bushmen on tv racist?

This has nothing to do with racism. I can tell. I'm danish. You can't tell, because you're from a background that finds this offensive. I can see that from what you write. If they don't translate correctly, it's probably because no danish people can tell the difference anyway.

[dosejoke]

Hahah , em men are from South Africa ,hahaha , amazulu a think

[vergiber]

search  bolder gazet van antwerpen

[NekoMimiKitty1]

Wrong spelling Afrika

[GeedanUK]

@NekoMimiKitty1 It's actually correct, well -at least- according to the Danish language. Not to mention they also spell China as 'Kina' and Russia as Rusland, Germany as Tyskland.

[newsearching]

Lol that was pretty funny. I'm confused though, how do other people see this as racist?

[thestentrold]

@newsearching tsk... totally obvious ehm... its says that black people from africa like every other human being, can suffer from bad eye sight ... wait? thats not racist...

[CatMoca]

@newsearching Of course everyone in all 54 countries live like this. I mean you know we all mistake crocodiles (as a matter of fact) see crocodiles as a daily occurence. No problem with this video at all

[newsearching]

@CatMoca I thought it was assumed this video showed natives found in regions where crocs could be found. :P

[CatMoca]

@newsearching And that is why the voice over said that living in AFRICA can be dangerous without glasses. So I am inclined to think it is a case of oversimplification. (btw, I don't want to start beef, just that as a Burundian, I can see that this ad is wrong on sooo many levels)

[newsearching]

@CatMoca It says Africa CAN be dangerous, not is. And it's just a joke. An equivalent would be a fat man having trouble doing a sit up and then a caption says obesity can be bad for your health.

[GuanoTheGamer]

lol this is wierd because im from south africa, and i am danish... lol

[lolsih101]

fuck this

[TheQhozt]

Snak dog dansk...

[abidjannet]

it's the most stupid and most racist commercial ever...making the world believe that africans live with Animals... uhmm Europeans never cease to amaze me. Europe is paradise. Africa is their shithole. Fuckin racists!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[xBaCoNatoRz]

@abidjannet Chill ur American cunt.. Like America isn't paradise..

[CokeeBoy]

@abidjannet yeah, america is known for not being racist, right?

that is not meant to hurt anyone... everytime someone makes something funny, with some black people they are racist... if it was some swedish people doing the same thing with a bear, or what ever, you would never said anything... -.-

[lollopisemis]

@abidjannet Tiresome guy making a big fuss about a small thing. Not right to say it's European, it's probably a small group of people and there you're sitting and being ignorant because you think everything is the same everywhere in Europe. Commercials are stupid and this doesn't reflect "Europeans" thought of Africans. Your comment is just plain dumb

[imbabazane]

The Idea behind the Ad is Noble. But, there is Smart Funny and Stupid Funny, this is Ad I am afraid is STUPID. Mainly because the Translations are somewhat off (they speak my language Zulu)....but ya, Noble worthy coarse indeed

[pixiefairy123456]

omg, i can see that most of u think its racist or something even more stupid? what is it u dont get? its a campaign, so instead of throwing out your old glasses, u can give them to africans. ITS LIKE CHARITY! AND IF U THINK THAT IS RACIST, U HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM! and btw, the tv people has found out that showing images of sad africans doesnt help, if people see a funny commercial 95% of them are gonna buy whatever they are selling, so SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT RACISM!

[xaalis222]

this is stereotypical and racist...and to remind some ignorant people that Africa is a continent not a country..this not even funny

[Prettypopkid]

@xaalis222 This good, this funny, you spell good, make good comment. Go back to africa where you belong dude ;)

[xaalis222]

@Prettypopkid Ofcourse i belong in africa and proud of it..so fuck u and your racist ass motherfucker..

[msminimoi]

this is the most stupid stereotypical thing i've seen yet, even d people donating need not too, since they're still blind about africa, they better get eye surgery, nonsense!!!! narrow-minded idiots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ABEJOHNDERDANSER]

@msminimoi troll harder

[Naramitzas]

best commercial ever i lol'd so hard when i first saw it on tv

[real4real1960]

Are we still backwards my people? What's the meaning of this advert please.

[c0N3x]

@real4real1960

To give you'r old glasses to africa.. xD so they dont think crocodiles are dogs..

[real4real1960]

@c0N3x  Rubbish!

[Baarup7500]

@real4real1960 No it just means that alot of people in africa is poor and cant afford glasses. and it´s dangerous if you can´t see...

[real4real1960]

@Baarup7500 Really? But they are happy...have seen lots of rich sad folks from other climes.

Which do you prefer?

[soenarto321]

If they have eyesight problem how come he can aim the stick at the crocodile, lol.

[VengD]

@soenarto321

The guy throwing the stick doesnt have bad eyesight. Its the same guy saying that it isnt a dog.

[Hollandia777]

It seems every joke the whites make 'bout the black ppl is seen as a some sign of racism!.. xDD

[masterchrispy]

Idk how it's affensive but some people think it's offensive because they claim it makes fun of Aficans. It doesn't. Your saying That who ever wins the lottery is poor. It's to donate glasses. I never knew glasses "affended" you... LMAO funny ad

[Xaudk]

haha.. typical africans..

[dollarbill11]

who da fuck made this, it is affensive to africans.

[donperm]

@dollarbill11 No it isn't ....... actually it's about helping the africans ...

dork

[aboymadeofweed]

@dollarbill11 how exactly is this offensive?

[grindstedlife]

hahaha ,, very fun

[fkmbate]

This is bullshit...how can one donate their specs? There is nothing funny abt this piece of bullshit commercial

[aneri97]

@fkmbate Well, you give your old glasses to the charity foundation, and they bring the glasses to Africa and give them to the people there who have bad eyesight but can't afford glasses.

Simple as that :)

[XactXecutioner]

hahaha hilarious!

[caitlinbear]

Oh wow lol. That was funny. xD

[amina232]

nyt syn in africa.. haha halvt dansk halvt engelsk.. flot

[SCH0U]

@amina232 : Det er jo fordi det er en reklame fra ''Nyt Syn''

[fideljensen]

Ååååååååååååååååååååå

[MasterMemo]
