So, in nineteen years on earth i've witnessed terrible things. people being shot for pulling out their wallet, people running planes into buildings, bon jovi still making albums - tragedy follows all of us. last week, you had a day or two off because Martin Luther King Jr.was murdered by the FBI. one of this mans main ideals was equality between races, as he states in the famous "I Have A Dream" speech. today, my friends, i have witnessed this dream come true.
Coca-cola has a new ad campaign, featuring the baritone sensations of isaac hayes' voice and a clearly white woman talking low and throaty. now, why does race come into play here, you ask? here's why. the ad hypes up the excitement you experience when you drink the latest beverage they offer, building sexual tension for twenty five of the thirty seconds the ad has to pimp it's shit, isaac and cracka bitch talking dirty to each other until BOOM! a crescendo of sexual tension explodes in an orgasmic display of... VANILLA AND BLACK CHERRY COCA COLA.
That's right, ladies and gentlemen. interracial relationships are being used as metaphors for advertising. progress is absolutely not an obsolete concept.
God bless America.
