The most racist ad ever ?!?!?!

[Scout26]

 The one-minute ad (the link is gone in most places but you can still see it by clicking here) shows a badly beaten blonde Caucasian woman approaching the line-up on crutches. A white male warden says, "We got 'em all lined up, nail the little sucker." The goat, in a raspy male voice bullies her with phrases, "keep your mouth shut, I'm going to do ya when I get out," "ya better not snitch on a playa'," and "snitches, get stitches, fool." The woman becomes hysterical and runs from the room. As the ad ends, you can hear her screaming off-screen.

The spot is one of a series featuring an intoxicated goat called Felicia created by Tyler, The Creator —  leader of the hip-hop collective One Future. Ironically, AdWeek called an earlier video in the series the "Best Ad Ever."


Here's the ad:

I'm not sure about the racist angle, but I don't suppose it would go over very well at the local battered women's shelter. 

I didn't find it that funny. The woman looked seriously terrified. Not to mention beaten to a pulp.

You've really gotta wonder about the folks who created/approved/filmed this spot. What's the mental process? "You know what'd be both hilarious and make people want to buy our product? Severe domestic violence, where the abuser was an animal!" I mean... who the hell thinks that's a good idea?

Edit: "Up next, watch Pedobear rape a little girl! Which will somehow make you want to drink Mountain Dew, or something." Effing morons. This is what what happen when you let /b/ folks make commercials.

Not to mention that goats would be offended.
