Yo Check out Dis Phone and Sh*t
So here's the story for our new commercial, a typical story.
Start with a know-it-all black guy. He's got a high-tech, snazzy phone. He gets immediately gets an update from a Facebook friend, a white girl (:04).
When the black guy clicks to his Facebook messages, we find out (:08) that some white guy is a clumsy idiot and apparently can't walk down some stairs without falling down them.
This gives the black guy a chance to shine, to look magnanimous in a smooth, effortless kind of way, starkly contrasting the clumsy oaf white guy. He uses his snazzy new phone to send out a message of sympathy, without even missing a moment of his parenting duties.
Ah but then this black guy, this heroic specimen, immediately gets contrasted with ANOTHER bumbling idiot white, a dad who apparently can't stay off the soccer field because his phone isn't high-tech enough(?!?!?)
Boycott: Windows Phone
All our lives we are brainwashed with the idea of "sensitivity." We need to be "sensitive" to blacks and jews and muslims.
ReplyDeleteWell where's the sensitivity for whites? Why is it always the white guy who is fat, ignorant, clumsy, or clueless?
You got it wrong again. The "Fell down stairs..." message is from the guy called Justin Hanson, whose name is immediately above the "Facebook 30 minutes ago" line. Melissa Kerr is the next message down, which you cannot see on the screen. But of course, in your attempt to demonstrate your point, I suppose bearing on reality is not important...
ReplyDeleteHey Anon, thanks for the edit tip. Good eye. I fixed the analysis. Unfortunately for you, though, my fix was insufficient to change the overall assessment that this commercial disparages whites and exalts blacks. I wonder that you were able to catch Justin Hanson's name, which flashed on the screen so quickly, and yet didn't seem to register the fat bumbling idiot white guy on the soccer field. Don't you think his presence renders this whole Justin Hanson issue kind of inconsequential? What we have here are two guys with phones. An idiot and a pro. The fact that the pro is black and the idiot is white - and that this assignation is par for the course in so many of the videos on this site - is the real issue here.
ReplyDelete"didn't seem to register the fat bumbling idiot white guy on the soccer field"
ReplyDeleteSo I suppose this commercial is anti-fat also, because the guy on the soccer field is - as you yourself describe him - fat? Or why not anti-bald, because the guy on the soccer field is bald? Why concentrate on his whiteness?
What would you think if a bald guy started a blog called Anti-Bald Media documenting all the instances in which bald people are portrayed negatively in commercials? Now you know what I think of your blog.
The essential point remains despite the anonymous bleating liberal timewaster.
ReplyDeleteAnother significant point is that for all the media bullshit with our black hero - its white people that made the phone possible, its white people that made Facebook possible. For these things to exist no black people need exist or be involved at all.

ReplyDeleteAnd I know what a fucking timewaster you are.
