Life Water (not Pepsi) Ad - Okay, it just goes to show that 80s pop culture references will never die. Godaddy.com Ad - Just like a Superbowl ad, weird looking guys drooling over hot chicks like DP. General Motors Ad - kinda boring, I can draw better human figures than that. Salesgenie Ad - I adore panda bears, but this ad seems like another dumb E surance-like cartoon commerical. Budlight Ad - Lame, I hate anything Carlos "I like to steal other people's material" Mencia is in anyway. Once again…

I'm not even close to jewish, or gay, or a gypsy, and I'm white, but I was seriously scared for my life, and everyone elses with that commercial I’m surprised there was no joke about the obvious Nazi influence in the Under Armour ad.

I liked the format, it reminds me a little of Zack and Thorpe's Fashion SWAT, though you guys have a slighyly different dynamic. Several of the lines I turned into away messages, I enjoyed them.

It gets a claimed 20 mpg (CarandDriver tested about 19) versus the 12 it got before. My 1997 Nissan Altima can get up to 30. Nobody needs a boat- excuse me- Tahoe and anyone who spends that much money for crap gas mileage can be killed by a melting glacier.

Are you sure, because ad agencies are rarely wrong (see: whazzzzup?) If for some strange reason this is indeed the case, please let us white people know what you DO say. There is a black girl in my office who is rather nice and I like to make her feel as comfortable as possible. Thanks! I love your hair, by the way.

Is that Danica Patrick slowly unzipping her jacket!?!??!!?" White guy 2: " It totally is, DUDE!!!! I think I feel a SEMI coming on!!!! (Both white guys high five, awkwardly) Only black guy: "Fuck that, while you guys are looking at a skinny white chick with no tits or ass on the computer, I will steal some of your smaller consumer electronics. Fo' Shizzze" (The 'Fo shizzle' is what ad agencies think black people say) I also noticed the lack of racial diversity in the godaddy.com ad (white people really don’t want to invite black people to their parties, but they have to in order to make it seem like they aren’t racist, and in the end they ask me to go, because I speak eloquently, and I end up canceling at the last second because I don’t want to be at a party where I also double as the “diversity”)
