It's not the insult I take personally - it's the hypocrisy. The people who make these ads would never dream of using anything but a white guy as the butt of their humor.

I agree. I think it may be a general man thing, because I notice the same commercials on BET. For some reason, sex and man bashing sells.

There are a LOT of those type ads.

You know it's getting bad when your wife notices and starts commenting about it, like mine did.

Absolutely correct.

Let's start a list of the "white guys" who are made to be buffoons in TV ads.

1. The Maytag guy.

2. The Di-Tech guy.

3. The Budweiser "wazzup" guys

4. Monkeys and dumb white guy with whoopee cushion

Yada yada yada
