Hold on cowboy. Idiocracy is a comedy? I thought it was a documentary.

Doesn’t sound racisss. Sounds like a depiction of the reality.

I think the trend in ads is to make them more and more sexually blatant, usually very antagonistic to women....this is what appeals to our male yutes apparently...
Carls and Jack in the Box run disgusting ads from time to time...thus, they don't get a dime from us....

If I drank this stuff to begin with, I’d be switching to the Kickapoo Joy Juice right now.

The commercial doesn't make sense to me.
Is the goat threatening to "get" the woman if she ID's him for assault?
What does this have to do with Mountain Dew? Can someone tell me what I'm missing?
And yes, I see why people think it's racist.
It's just a very strange ad.

Oh for heavens sake! Just go back to the ORIGINAL bottle showing two hillbillies shooting at each other while one runs toward an outhouse!
Criminy!

Stupid ad regardless. How ‘bout if they just go back to the original Mountain Dew ads that made fun of white hillbillies? I assume that would be OK?

From the doj.gov website:
U.S. Department of Justice rape statistics for 2003-2006:
Whites raped by Blacks: 101,823
Blacks raped by Whites: 0
Yes, thats a zero, as shown by the DOJ website, which states anything less than ten is statistically zero.
