SalesGenie.com Super Bowl Ads...

Did anyone find the two ads that aired for "SalesGenie.com" offensive? I did...

Here's the link to them:

Click on the 4th ad of the 1st Quarter and the 4th ad of the 3rd Quarter.

You know, I was thinking the same thing, the first sales guy of a particular ethnicity having how many kids? Or, the panda with an obvious accent that Americans associate where pandas come from? Yeah, pushed the envelope a little too far, methinks.

Yeah, I couldn't believe the rather heavy Asian accents they gave the pandas. I think it would have been better to just use generic "cartoony" voices rather than the Asian ones.

Super Bowl Ads...

Agreed. The Asian voices of the pandas was too much. I also hated the commercial with Richard Simmons in it. I mean I too would attempt to run him down if I ever saw him but the commercial was stupid. I really enjoyed the Coke commercial with Stewie, Underdog, and Charlie Brown and I also like the commerical for the Stock Trading thing with the fake talking baby.

Talking animals in Super Bowl ads? Gee, there's a real shock! This is about the most overused formula, second only to CC stations voicetracking afternoon shifts with the morning folk!

The only SB ad that was really shocking to me was the one where Shaq was horse racing; the thing that surprised me? The horse did not talk.
