The Intel ad is racist while the WaMu commerical isn't?!

Washington Mutual commercial with stereotypical old, white bankers being corralled by a black man.

Exactly,

I would have never guessed those were track uniforms. First of all I’m not very well versed with track uniforms and the uniforms are obscured by the furniture.

It looks like they could be wearing some weird temple attire.

If they wanted to communicate track runners, they could have used the same characters in the same clothes and not have made it look like brothers bowing to whitie. This was a complete breakdown in common sense.

Is it six sprinters, or six different images of the same guy? Not just racxist, but also promoting cloning.

If the guy was holding a whip and a chain it probably would be racist--but would still be on the air because the Gay Community would love it.

pretty sure it is the same single guy

Yes. It’s meant to make the point of getting multiple employees’ worth of work (multiple processors’ worth) out of one, but the execution is disastrous.

Who thought THIS was a good idea?

Someone who is not obsessed with this national obsession of something called "racism", which like 'fascism" is just another synonym for "bad". And we all know that bad things are wrong!

They used ONE sprinter and copy/pasted him six times to keep it cheap and, I bet, they probably used the savings for a nicer lunch with the advertising vendor.

I also wish to bring up the young white couple that was viciously tortured and raped and dismembered early this year by five black thugs. Why is there an almost total blackout of this heinous crime in the media?

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Because blacks and homosexuals are protected classes and covering the truth is at the bottom of the list for the so-called “mainstream media”! This crime is not covered for the same reason that very few people know the name of Jesse Dirkhising! Jesse was killed by two miserable homo freaks. On the other hand almost everyone has heard of Matthew Shephard.

I am sorry I see it. Perhaps some here are blind because it is very obvious to me. The company apologized and it was a very stupid stupid ad. If you can’t see it and how it appears, well then I cannot help you. Was it intentional, most likely not.

Whoops. When marketing analysts are good, they’re very good. When they’re bad, they’re very bad!

That was my thought as well - especially the lunch part!

Is the farthest back guy on the right black? Hard to tell with what looks like his head up the white guy’s rear end...

White men can’t run or jump. We’re all just honky couch potatoes.

White boys can’t jump. They can’t sprint either......
