By now, I'm sure some of you have heard of or seen these. What are your thoughts? Obviously, I won't be sharing mine out of cowardice.

How is it racist? I get the part with the battered woman being a bit offensive, but the rest of it?

[DasFapital]

Its a little offensive but kinda funny. Its Tyler the Creator. What did they expect?

[Ocean Seal]

That was pretty fucking sexist, and I don't understand how it was funny. It was a stupid move on part of the Pepsi company, and no wits time for their damage control. Probably not even an apology will come out of this.

[RadioRaheem84]

Which one? The racist lineup of the three black men suspected of beating a white woman, looking heavily "incriminating".

It was made by an African American rapper named Tyler who clearly sold out to the Pepsi Co.

[Comrade Nasser]

That's pretty damn racist. But then again it was tyler the creator lol. You know the guy who made a song about being infatuated with cheese :laugh:

[Ocean Seal]

Tyler the creator is a fuckwit and a sellout and someone who clearly doesn't give a fuck about black people. Does he think we're niggas, spics, chinks? All of us non-whites. What a fucking piece of shit. I can't believe half of you like him.

Are you seriously that offended by these commercials? If this kind of thing offends you that badly then you need to take a look at yourself and handle whatever insecurities it is that you have that is causing a mere joke in a commercial to upset you.

[Rugged Collectivist]

Why the fuck would Pepsi hire Tyler the creator to direct a commercial? Did they want to alienate 90% of the people who saw it for some reason?

[Le Socialiste]

This shit is racist, sexist, and definitely not funny. Y'all need to take a look at yourselves if you don't understand why.

[Deity]

This shit is racist, sexist, and definitely not funny. Y'all need to take a look at yourselves if you don't understand why.

Oh alright, I was unaware that you were the humor authority. Please tell me what is acceptable to find funny, I don't want to laugh at an unapproved joke.

It SHOULDN'T be as big of a deal as everyone is making it out to be. People are unbelievably oversensitive to everything nowadays; it's ridiculous the amount of shit that people spew over a joke.

[uk_communist]

I fail to see how this advert is racist or misogynistic at all. It was a goat who become obsessed with Mountain Dew, and took down a waitress because he wanted more. Where does the issue stand?

It doesn't advocate or accept violence against women, not does it use *any* racist terminology, produce hatred for other races, or say that it's only ever black people in jail.

People and their political correctness...:confused:

[goalkeeper]

I saw it as like a parody of racism, with the cop saying "go on, its the one in the doo rag" when it was the goat really
