This is on YouTube but I can't get it to post properly...
This one has been driving me up the wall as of late - because it seems to always come on right in the middle of shows I like.
Oh wait, I'd better sit down for this one. It be the "truf" straight up, yo.
Why is it that sounding like an illiterate buffoon somehow makes one popular these days... is it his "posse"?

I can't get this to edit but I should have mentioned it's a DirecTV ad featuring some boxer who (to quote one of my favorite movies "Interstate 60") makes Mike Tyson sound like an Oxford graduate. Oh, and his "crew".

It's really ghetto.  That butler should knee that little kid in the head.

soo ghetto and hood.  If I was black, I'd be insulted by this stereotype.  It sure as hell doesn't make me wanna get Directv.  For a supposed athlete, he has a beer gut really?  couldn't get an in shape actor?  "Opulence... I want it back"

Confused...wow...
 
Never have seen it, never expect to - up here in the GreatWhiteNorth, 'diversity rules' - there is basically 'zero tolerance' when it comes to racism, religion, 'partner choice', and so forth - any offense often draws the ire of all quarters and will bring public attention the offender's direction in a hurry.

The first time I saw this....thing....I thought maybe this "troof" guy was really a boxer with a lame ass endorsement deal. I can't find any info saying he is, which makes the commercial even more racist than I had previously thought. Geez, being black myself I have half a mind to call DirecTV and tell them how much this ad reeks. What agency did they hire? KK and K?
