Was I the only person offended by Pepsi ads in the Super Bowl yesterday?

Its always “whitey” that smacked or hit on TV. When commercials are so politically correct and blatant, they need to be called out. Have a white couple throw a can and knock out a black woman....see what happens.

Blacks should have been offended by that ad even more than whites, because it reinforces negative stereotypes about them.

A great example of why we don’t subject ourselves or our kids to the super bowl ads or halftime show.

We DVR’d the whole thing, and started watching at 8:30. We were done by 10, and didn’t have to witness any of the pregame crap, the halftime crap, or the commercial crap.

Fortunately, my young daughters went to bed before that one aired. I tolerated most of the ads, but that one made me cringe for some reason.

According to Twitter and YouTube, many blacks were very upset. It continues the stereotype of the emasculating black woman with an attitude juxtaposed next to the friendly, fit, beautiful white woman for decades.

Also, Michelle Obama has nothing to do with this ad. Eating healthy is not a new idea.

You’d probably be the first to get offended if the Pepsi commercial players were a white couple and a black female jogger getting coldcocked by a can.

Explain why you think so.

With all the stupid kids and people in general who find inspiration for outrageous behavior by something shown in a tv commercial, the pepsi ad was quite irresponsible...and the end of it, with the couple fleeing the scene was sweet.
Whenever a crime is committed..a high profile one like the Arizona shooting for example, the PC libs jerk off practically in their efforts to imply talk radio influence on the crime...like what they hear on the radio makes a perp fire a gun..what about an especially irresponsible pepsi ad like last night?

You find it to be even halfway acceptable for a person to be knocked unconcious by a full pepsi can and then for the couple to flee the scene? What kind of shit is that? Nothing wrong with that to you? You do some explaining.

You said I would be the first to be offended if the races in the commercial were switched.

Defend that statement.

What’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. By “the rules” established by race pimps for when they can scream racism, the can conking and the finger sucking ads were both racist.

These advertisers have bought into those “rules” and they should have to live with them. I, for one, am sick to death of this sort of racist BS on television - both the shows and the ads.

Pepsico can go to hell as far as I am concerned.

My error, of course.

Intended to say that it was the woman throwing the can at the man who ducked and knocked the white jogger to the ground.

my comment was "but when the black woman (Muchelle wannabe?) threw her Pepsi can and knocked a white female jogger off the park bench,..."

Never accused, inferred or otherwise that a either a black man pretended to assault a white woman.

One is supposed not to notice genuine black on white crime in America, so now it's OK to make fun of it in commercials.

You might not have noticed the alarming trend of black school age females attacking white females during and after school with some regularity so the assumption that in "today's America" a black woman would offer a hand up to her white sister.

I know and like many black women but in younger women, violence is becoming more prevalent.

"Eating healthy is not a new idea."

Of course eating healthy isn't new, I've been doing it for years and weigh the same as I did when I was 18 (102.)

What is new (or at least becoming too much to turn a blind eye to) is the idea that the government needs to force anyone into eating healthy.

I certainly am offended that Michelle finds that to be her unelected role in our government, even going so far as to force-feed kids at school and now she's going after restaurants over portion sizes!

It's no longer the minute steps of government creep in the personal lives of the citizens, it is now careening at light speed.

Hey! I think we are on to somthing here. Moochell’s odd dress fetish is her way of trying to LOOK like a pepsi can.

Agreed. I was watching with my pre-teen sons as well. Pepsi got an email from me over that one...not that they care.

And why are you posting this comment to me?

Obviously from your response, I mistakenly responded to you instead of responding to the person who thought I misunderstood as to the gender of the can thrower.

Not to mention that Doritos make your breath smell like dead otters in a drain pipe.
