I found this gem earlier today http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pd8en_NhZ1c

It was a little racist, but kinda funny. I don't really understand why it was banned though, anyone got an idea?

I think a lot of these "banned" commercials aren't really banned and are just made to be released on the net as supposedly banned to get more attention.

If that was really banned than today's society is really too uptight.

Unquestionably; I'm sure some "director of new media" dreamed up the whole thing

It probably wasn't so much banned as deemed a crap idea once they got down to editing it. So they made it straight-to-net and called it banned.

Only when you ignore the rest of the ad campaign and assume everyone in the world has the kind of black/white race issues that USA does :roll:

It's not very racist, but I can see where it can come from.

Just the whole bowing thing that's repeated throughout the commercial.

It's pretty funny, actually. :P

I guess "racist" wasn't the best word. "Stereotypical" probably would have been better.
