Can I just say...
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT?!
There are some people in blackfolk who don't think this ad is worthy of hatemail. I think these people have far more patience than I - that, or they refuse to let a really poorly designed ad get to them that much. I can respect that.
But personally, I just need to track down some addresses (which I'll be posting as soon as I find 'em), because I do not believe this. Please don't tell me that the people designing this ad MISSED the obvious problematic implications here, because THAT was the first thing to hit me between the eyes - not the overt intended message of the ad. WHOOPS GUYZ.
And if they DID miss it, then they need to be educated about what they missed real damn fast.
I can't believe this is a real ad. The fuck. Someone please find evidence this is a photoshopped joke. (That won't make it okay, but it will make it a bit better if a bunch of people trained in marketing didn't REALLY make this thoughtlessly designed ad.)
Just WTF.
