I think marketing's really declined in the last ten years. Or maybe I've matured. Who knows.

What's the one with the guy who's singing on the airplane and day dreaming about being in the movie "Easy Rider?"

That's the most racist commercial I have ever seen. I cringe when I see it. hdeck will confirm that. Also, why is he talking to the character that he is playing???

I'm sure I'm part of the vast minority on this one, but I actually like the ad. Well, let me rephrase that, I like a very few segments of it. For example, when he asks "Where you goin', Spiderman?"... That just makes me chuckle.

Yes. It seems to me like it's making fun of black people. I'll bet money that the actor doesn't talk like that in real life.

I think you are looking to deep into things. I don't thing the president of Best Buy got up one moring and thought, "Hmmmm, how can I make fun of those blacks today? Oh yes, a Spiderman comercial."

I actually chuckled the first time I saw it too and thought it was fairly decent. I think a lot of it might just be repitition that's driving most people nuts. It's getting a lot of airplay (most likely because focus group testing showed people responded strongly to it, be it either positive OR negative.)

Jellomancer is just a dyed-in-the-wool liberal. He has to find evil in anything that might be a nefarious right-wing conspiracy.
