i think you guys are confusing stereotypes with humanitarian struggles...figures...i dont know why you guys are so fixated on the notion that i am offended by the asian one...i dont car..........ugh nevermind...

ill start making satirical ads poking fun of iraq and pearl harbor...ooooooh, but if it involves white people and war, its unpatriotic...lots of double standards...

but who cares anymore; no skin off my nose...the people have spoken and i stand alone...mods, fuckin lock this so it can make room for another thread about fades or sasha singleton...thats the real shit...

Brian · 10-23-2009, 11:28 PM

Why don't you post your "point" clearly?

I actually am interested in what you're trying to say.

I re-read your first post again and have no idea what the commerical is about.

Some people are eating food "on the go" ? Then they are on a bus and writing graffiiti? or something?

mrflip69 · 10-23-2009, 11:37 PM

People who eat hot pockets are treated like black people in the US circa 1960s during the civil rights movement.

Too soon?

So, Hot Pocket put out a commercial to show that using their product will result in you being treated like dirt?
Seems backwards.

And yes I do understand where are you coming from, you are just not clear with it. It bugs you (or not) that they could compare to such a thing when is it's not looked upon as the greatest time during our history.

Are fucking kidding me! Is this what the OP is getting butt hurt about. Jesus tap dancing christ!

The way the OP made it sound was that minorities were trying to eat on the go, and white folks were treating'em like crap.

Kinda reminds me of this guy.

That's because women make up 85% of the purchasing power within America. It's easy to sell shit to women if you marginalize men and make females the heroes of society.

Masa · 10-24-2009, 12:49 AM

dude doing donuts in parking lot-

"you not hungry for donuts, you hungry for HAWWWWWWWT PAWWWWWKETZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!"

dat commercial was awesome.

btw, i hate hot pockets.

*revat619* · 10-24-2009, 01:18 AM

I'm black, and while i recognize the similarities between the current campaign and its historical counterpart, i find no offense whatsoever. Why you ask? take a second and think about this....

We're talking about frickin hot pockets.

HOT POCKETS.

HOT

MOTHER

EFFING

POCKETS.

HOT POCKETS!

C'mon bro, i mean, really?!

And fyi, all the people being treated like crap in the new campaign are white and the people hurling insults are white. All because of hot pockets. Shits hilarious if you ask me. If anything, its the asian one you should be upset about. but you're not.....so umm yeah. wat?

drift freaq · 10-24-2009, 01:48 AM

I would pretty much agree with revat. OP you are seriously over thinking this. The commercial is getting patently absurd for the sake of effect. In fact it worked and quite well because it made you overreact. Which got you talking about the product. That's a win in marketing.
I seriously doubt black or white would find it racist or offensive in any such way. Oh and to correct you. You were not even alive when that stuff happened so how can you feel ashamed of it? You did not do it.
Fact is every country in the world has done socially wrong things at some point. Fact is if people were alive at the time of those things then yes they should feel some kind of social responsibility for it.
Though I cannot be held accountable nor feel guilty for actions that did not happen in my lifetime when I could not have influence on them.
People need to learn to stop laying blame, people need to look at the past and just learn from it.
People need to take responsibility for their current situations and make their own lives better, not try to blame it on stuff that has already happened.

Being socially aware is one thing. Being socially guilty for crimes you did not commit is another. You are trying to feel socially guilty for something you had nothing to do with.
Get over it.

ronmcdon · 10-24-2009, 03:11 AM

If you want to be analytical, consider the details.

People in the bus were just telling the 'hot pockets dude' not to sit next to them.
Not like the bus had a section for 'hot pockets ppl' and 'non hot pockets ppl'
Some public buses do have a 'no food or drink' policy.

It would also help if you could work on your writing.
I had no idea what in the hell the 2nd & 3rd paragraph were about, until Brian asked for a clarification.

TheWolf · 10-24-2009, 06:04 AM

It's ok... I quit eating at mc donalds when the only white guys are poor starving college students who have $2 budgeted for lunch. the rest are blacks and latino's.

I mean why not have some healthcare CEO's with billions on the table... yucking it up in the back room... talking about how they got all this money was the micky d's value menu... then rolling in the dough like scrouge mcduck.

Gnnr · 10-24-2009, 12:01 PM

I think of this bit when I think of Hotpockets

tsx1racer04 · 10-25-2009, 10:42 AM

I don't get offended by this commercial, i'm asian and i dont really care. We're all grown not lil kids that go nit-picking at everything. You wanna see something racist? Go back and look at the real old episodes of the Power Rangers, like back in 95-96. Hah, the black ranger was black, the asian ranger was yellow and the white one...yeah you guessed it white!!!

And oh yeah, the black one had a "cannon blaster" as his main weapon. Sht damn racist power rangers, they're suppose to be protecting the world, instead their creating stereotypes...LOL

probably playing into the stereotype that they are naturally gifted in certain parts of the human anatomy.

*Drift N Dragg* · 10-25-2009, 12:20 PM

dude... LMAO .. Wow is all I got.. But that was funny.. O.P. where's your sense of Humor?

I am Half Hispanic and Half White.. So does that mean I can be double Racist? Or can I just be racist against the Other side of me? Can you imagine the arguement with my self?? I would be throwing slang words at myself all day.. "I must be a Lazy Hispanic, But a Blue Collar, Flag Waving White Capitalist Patriot that lives in a trailer Park" ... haha (BTW I do not live in a trailer Park, that I know of.. LMAO )

I love ME!! .. The Company got what it wanted.. The Spreading of Word... Word of mouth is still the most effective form of Advertising...

O.P. relax.. Breathe.. it will be ok..

Oyama · 10-25-2009, 12:35 PM

The worst thing about racism is that when races other than white are the subject of racial jokes (in comercials or whatever) they always make a big deal out of it , while when the white guys are the target they couldn't give a sh.t , or at least I don't. Why is that ?

*Drift N Dragg* · 10-25-2009, 01:26 PM

This Subject can go on For Years (which it has)... I have friends of many races and we all talk crap back and forth and have seen different commericals and movies (i.e. Blazing Saddles... Funny as hell) and they laugh as I laugh.. But there are people that do not see it that way...

Here, there is freedom of Speech.. whether it's for good or bad.. It's OUR right..

Some people are just more sensitive then other's when it comes to Jokes of Race, Sex, or Religion.. It's not a crime (to be sensitive) it's just who they are.. Even though that they Wrong! ..HAHA.. I AM JUST KIDDING .. RELAX!!!

I think if the race that should be Offended is NOT offended, then why are YOU concerned about it?

This is a topic that people usually don't talk about (I think).
I kind of brought it up earlier about the Racially constructed television stations and race specific awards shows.
To me, it seems that racism somehow CAN'T happen to white people.

Look at something like BET channel. Black Entertainment Television.
Ok fine. If you watch it, cool. Enjoy. But what would happen if somebody was to say, "Hey, I want to make the White Entertainment Channel."

What happens then?

Look at something like Latin Grammy Awards, ALMA awards, etc.

To me, it seems like humans will continue to point out differences and seperate things based on race/nationality/whatever.

Matej · 10-25-2009, 03:58 PM

Maybe white people have a naturally high tolerance and are harder to offend, haha.

ronmcdon · 10-25-2009, 05:01 PM

It's not about ppl in certain races being more sensitive than others.
It's more about the individual really (and whether or not they choose to take offense).
Some ppl are just super sensitive and/or interpret ambiguity in a negative way, no matter what.

YoungGun · 10-27-2009, 10:18 PM

New trident commercial is racist against Asians.

Ya man. I sometimes don't get that either.

We have an "aboriginal center" at my school. That's cool and all, but why don't we have an asian center... or, GOD FORBID, a caucasian center?! We spend a bunch of money on separating a certain group of people from the rest of the student body. WHY?

Hopefully racism will slowly die out. I feel that with each generation it's becoming less of an issue. There is still many cultural differences... but most people my age are very understanding of other cultures/races and are generally not offended by much.

Why are there two pink smiley guys in this???

That shit is racist! Inequality!

Bubbles · 10-27-2009, 11:45 PM

Me and my buddy took a 4 hour round trip and listened to Jim Gaffigan the whole time.

It was more awesome than racism could ever be.

then its just as racsist towards black people as soon as that random African sticks his head in the window.

Bubbles · 10-28-2009, 12:08 AM

What's funny is the only reason everyone in the commercial isn't white to begin with is so the company or brand doesn't get labeled as being racist.
