It’s just pure slapstick comedy. What’s the big deal? Pepsi is trying to sell their product to blacks...so they use blacks as protagonists. The white lady jogger just provides an emotional hook. I’m sure some advertising dude can explain it.
How many times did the Three Stooges accidentally clock some poor rube and leave him writhing in pain on the ground? Or Charlie Chaplin or a million other American comics?
Classic Americana - that’s my ruling.

Black men are letches? Black women are tempermental bitches? White women are more attractive than black women? If a black woman attacks a white woman there are no consequences? Yes, all that and more.

Uh, yeah, that’s exactly what I’m saying I suppose.

I watched them all too. Yes, I could see where it would make some uncomfortable just because of the violence, but it's TV!
But the fact that people ARE affected by color is what is wrong with this nation and our ability to laugh at stupid things. PC is the root cause and at the heart of what the left uses to divide us.

If the people complaining would say
“yeah, that’s what would probably happen, and it’s wrong, and several things revealed in that ad need to be addressed in our community”
instead of
“how DARE you show that!”
the culture responsible for such behavior could be changed.

It would be funny but most ads try to put a blonde with the black dude. They are just following the norm.

It matches perfectly - angry black woman who is controlling and a food-scold. That is Michelle Obama, isn’t it?

Some people on FR think it is okay to assault a white woman then run away. They even think it is “funny.” She was probably just a stupid white person anyway like most white are depicted in commercials on Obama TV. I bet she probably deserved it anyway. IT was really "funny" how she was knocked senseless then they ran away. Hilarious.

Jackson Lee is offended that the black man in the ad finds the white woman attractive. This is certainly a big part of it. Another part is that the black woman so plainly gives the black man good reason to prefer the white woman.
To: BradtotheBone
Sheila Jackson Lee and Jesse Jackson need to hook up and have a four some with Al Sharpton and Jesse Jr. and crate their own hate whitey race on gilligan’s island.

I’m offended by all the commercials that have blacks and whites in them, and in all cases they make the white persons to look like the incompentent buffoons and the black people to look like the cool, intellegent ones.

"I think that we can come together in a much better way, sell Pepsi, and as well talk about good nutrition," she said. "But, frankly, I consider this insulting, and so did many other women of all colors." Maybe by coming together, we could make a commercial for Colt 45 and have a bunch of drunk brothers and sisters chugging down some 40 oncers, here in Detroit in front of an Arab Party Store, in a burned out neighborhood? Then old Sheila Jackson Lee would probably go join the Colt 45 imbibers?

Was she offended by Usher being lowered on a chain during halftime show during “Black History Month”? She’s offended because it’s the shortest month of the year.
