- thebellmaster1x, on 02/05/2008, -0/+92Carlos Mencia? In an unfunny, overly racist advertisement?
Who would've thought?
/s - HCviolence, on 02/05/2008, -1/+80Dugg because Carlos Mencia is a ***** CANCER ON THE WORLD.
- Jakyll, on 02/05/2008, -0/+57I've watched that CareerBuilder ad a dozen times now, and I still think it looks more like an exploding breast implant than her heart leaping from her chest.
- digggrumps, on 02/05/2008, -1/+57I'm surprised the Pandas didn't say "Ching-chong ching ching chong" the whole time. These are worse than racist Jello ads from the 30s.
- yomamaisfat, on 02/05/2008, -1/+43I will digg anything that points out how unfunny and stupid Mencia is.
- bbkingadrock, on 02/05/2008, -3/+42what they don't mention is that the CareerBuilder exploding heart spot was one of the only (possibly even /the/ only?) commercials to feature a female protagonist who was not selling her body and sexuality.
- marioday, on 02/05/2008, -3/+39they should use that money to make a giant pancake for the homeless.
- Brad324, on 02/05/2008, -2/+27usually when I think of "explode" and "chest" I get a different mental image.
- cdstaff, on 02/05/2008, -2/+24Only a few good ones this year. These were not them
- seks03, on 02/05/2008, -1/+18The ads this year sucked... period
- insllvn, on 02/05/2008, -1/+13Isn't that what the rest of the internet is for?
- mattatarms1507, on 02/05/2008, -0/+9The thing is...racial humor is funny, when its funny. That commercial was far from funny.
- mal1964, on 02/05/2008, -2/+11They know their audience.
- inactive, on 02/05/2008, -0/+9Man, when I read distasteful I was thinking more along the lines of something like the WWE that had two people *****; Superbowl ads really do suck more this millennium.
If I'm going to be offended I demand it be by gratuitous nudity! - reeder, on 02/05/2008, -1/+9This coming from Gawker?! Talk about hypocrisy.
- PathDaemon, on 02/05/2008, -1/+9I started to laugh when that one came on, confusing the other people in the room, for just that reason.... Two pandas names Ching Ching and Ling Ling who own a bamboo shop? What the ***** year is this?
Not to mention that the "panda psychic" offering them a solution was mysteriously American — even more disturbing. - jcsw, on 02/05/2008, -0/+7What, an exploding heart or someone wanting to watch that a dozen times?
- inactive, on 02/05/2008, -0/+7It's not Carlos Mensias fault, he didnt know the guy he stole the joke from was unfunny and racist.
- Fox318, on 02/05/2008, -1/+7In the spirit of Bill-O and Keith Olberman I say just make a ton of Falafels.
- davewashere, on 02/05/2008, -0/+6Next year's hit Super Bowl commercial: Carlos Mencia gets his ass kicked by a gang of real Mexicans (sponsored by Louisville Slugger).
- johnn11238, on 02/05/2008, -0/+5Well, she sure wasn't ugly, either...
- brufleth, on 02/05/2008, -1/+6I'm really surprised that commercial made the cut. It wouldn't have taken that much to make it less offensive. Maybe cut out the accent?
- ALBIN0RHIN0, on 02/05/2008, -0/+5Do you just spam this same comment in every article?
- SigmaDraconis, on 02/05/2008, -1/+6So this year's Super Bowl Ads brought us blatant stereotypes of various races & nationalities, a heart flying out of a woman's chest in gross detail, and Carlos Mencia.
...But hey, at least no nude body parts were shown! - blowhole, on 02/05/2008, -1/+6Did anyone else notice it was Donkey Lips who clamped the jumper cables to his *****? That was awesome!
- Knucklecallus, on 02/05/2008, -0/+4It just freaks me out...
- brufleth, on 02/05/2008, -1/+5The racism in the commercial didn't add any humor. It wasn't a funny commercial and I don't even think it was trying to be.
Nobody is killing any fun in this case. - manicallday, on 02/05/2008, -0/+4The best superbowl commercial of all time has to be the E-Trade commercial where the monkey was dancing on the bucket with old men clapping around it for rhythm. "We Just Blew $1 million dollars." Classic. You really can't go wrong with monkeys.
- nbcaffeine, on 02/05/2008, -0/+4The heart didn't have any clothes on...
- zombies187, on 02/05/2008, -0/+4I saw at least 20 other articles called 'great superbowl ads'
- daborg, on 02/05/2008, -0/+4OMG! BAN THE HEART COMMERCIAL NOW!
- Versh, on 02/05/2008, -0/+3The few Bridgestone ads were kind of okay? C'mon, who doesn't like screaming animals...
- Monk22, on 02/05/2008, -0/+3i do to. and the more i see an ad the more annoyed i get causing me to be LESS likely to buy your ***** product Mr. I Took An Advertising Class
- getrealnow, on 02/05/2008, -0/+3Of course these were not them, they picked the ones that were the worst.
- bubba9999, on 02/05/2008, -0/+3I pinch.
- baras, on 02/05/2008, -1/+4Frightening but true.
- Autofac, on 02/05/2008, -0/+3Mencia is a chump.
- bubba9999, on 02/05/2008, -0/+3Charlie Brown for the win!
- Yesplease, on 02/05/2008, -0/+3I don't see what's so wrong with that. If anyone would buy something because of my body or sexuality in a commercial, I'd be strippin down and flappin in the breeze right now!
/chauvinism - MsAntiSunshine, on 02/05/2008, -0/+3You're missing the one of the baby who spits up. It was absolutely revolting.
- tiansweet, on 02/05/2008, -0/+3The Salesgenie ads were the WORST. How could they even expect to get away with those ads with no repercussions? Like someone said, if they were making fun of the stereotypes by then breaking them or something then perhaps it would have been more legit, but instead they just added as many of the stereotypes as they could. It was nowhere near funny. It's people like them who perpetuate stereotypes of minorities when today, there are thousands of Asian Americans who do not act or speak like that.
- xTRUMANx, on 02/05/2008, -0/+3Apparently, although he does paraphrase at time.
Source: http://digg.com/users/indianballer24 - junyamint, on 02/05/2008, -0/+3Coke's ad with the floats fighting for a coke-a-cola was the best one.
- tize, on 02/05/2008, -0/+3The heart leaves a blood stain on the keyboard, disturbing...
- Monk22, on 02/05/2008, -0/+2the pigeon FedEx on was good.
- AnonymousSkull, on 02/05/2008, -1/+3I thought the exact same thing. I'm pretty desensitized, but I thought the heart thing was pretty odd.
- OrangeTide, on 02/05/2008, -0/+2Wow pretty lame. Is 2008 going to be the year of awkward commercials?
- bxblox, on 02/05/2008, -1/+3There are really not any more ads than during any other program. People just discuss them because of the massive cost to air them and the amount of people that are watching the superbowl. The game was great btw, though im too lazy to take that 30 minute train ride to the parade.
- oriqin, on 02/05/2008, -0/+2i guess this is what we get when the writers go on strike... BRING EM BACK!!!
- bjs3171, on 02/05/2008, -0/+2if something is creative, i like it. i don't care what medium. and believe it or not, I do need to, like, buy things, as I've decided the tree-house in the jungle just gets too buggy at night, and have moved into an apartment in brooklyn.
