Have any one seen that commercial by Payless? I just saw it and I'm like :Q.... omgwtfbbq!!!1!!!1

Nice choice of words. I bet some one will post a thread relating to this issue sometimes later titled "Payless issue an apology letter...."


EDIT: Since there are so many cluelessness up in this place... pop quiz... what is a slang word for Filipinos?

I don't know about you, but I've always heard flips being used in the same catagory as n!gger, h!ck, sp!c, ch!nk, etc.....

It was a commercial about flipflops.... and that was the catch phrase :"Hundreds of flips, no flops".
So?
What's a slang word for Filipinos?

I'm assuming either "flip" or "flop" ? I still don't get it, still sounds like a completely legit slogan about sandals to me...

I saw the commercial earlier today; he's referring to flip.

I've heard it before but I didn't think it was derogatory.

Plus, it's not like it's an uncommon word and the commercial is clearly using it to refer to footwear, so I don't see what the big deal is.

I have never heard "flip" used as a perjorative for anyone, let alone Filipinos.
People really need to stop looking for reasons to get offended.

This is an example of retarded people thinking that something that sounds like it could be misconstrued by an ACLU lawyer on acid is offensive...

Don't forget this is America my friend, I'm just pointing out the obvious, it's not like we haven't seen some utterly retarded and frivolous law suits in our life time.
