Lame commercials infuriate me for no good reason...

I saw this commercial consisting of a father and a son throwing a football back and forth while saying taunting black phrases . I can really only remember the dad saying "not in my house." However, there were about 10 phrases verbally diarrhead outBut it made me so angry i wrote a letter at 1:30 on a sunday night. Believe it.

And here is the letter sent to 2 Live Stews:

To Whom It May Concern:

I just witnessed your television commercial promoting your show 2 live stews while watching an interesting show about the 101 weirdest things taken out of the human body, consisting of some nails and an unborn twin brother(Not a joke), on TLC.

It was the one where a father is playing a rousing game of catch with his hat-wearing son. Then for some reason the mastermind behind this debacle decided to make them say various stereotypical sayings for urban African Americans. Then I realized why it was so funny. It’s hilarious because you found a giant Caucasian nerd dad with his adorable, Caucasian son to say all these overused catch phrases.

Now, I’m not saying anything about stereotypes here. I’m just upset that your less-than-a-minute terrible commercial made me furious. I don’t know why it infuriated me so much but I threw my pint of Chunky Monkey on the floor in disgust. I then looked up the radio station and noticed the two hosts were African American. Then I realized that if I watch this show, I might just be able to hear these witticisms on the air. The thought of this happening makes me never want to punish my ears with “Booyahs” and “Get outta my houses.”

I also noticed that these two talents received an award in 2004 by ESPN radio calling these two the best “air talent of the year.” Now, if I didn’t see that award I would never have tuned in to hear sports banter. I honestly think that is an impressive feat, but unfortunately can never listen to this show because the commercial was so painful. I think these two men would probably be upset that these white squares are promoting their award-winning sports show.

Thanks for reading this message and please forward it to your marketing department.

Sincerely,
Stuart

PS – I wasn’t the only organism disturbed by this commercial. My pet gerbils, Dr. Strangelove and Chunkface, were also upset. I could tell because a father always knows.

**I can assure you, I did in fact send this copy to the radio station. You're welcome, America.
