These were those cartoon ads for Sales Genie that used some mild ethnic humor. They were offensive only to the perpetually insulted. You know, liberals.

Was that the one with the pandas? That was stupid as well as being offensive to some.

Really. The article would have had more punch, to say the least, if the reader was informed what ads the subject was responsible for, and what was apparently offensive about them.

Racial stereotypes.

I thought they were really stupid ads.

I don’t know about offensive but almost all of them were stupid.

At least half of them I never figured out what they were advertising.

The companies that oaid for them were stiffed big time.

Ok then this seals it I am not a liberal.

I looked at the so called offensive ads and no matter how many times I looked at them, I do not get the offense.

What a relief that I am not a liberal.

Which game did you watch???

“Smelly Cheerleaders from Hell”

That might make for a good B movie flick...

Mmmmmmmmmmmm: Let's ee here:

Biggest upset since Colts lost to Broadway Joe.
Opportunity for first undefeated team in almost 40 years
Two times a team came from behind to take the lead in the fourth quarter.
A 45 yard over the middle circus catch made with the assistance of a helmet.

and you were bored?

It is pretty hard to take your comment seriously.
