there's an ad running, that make me sick.
an asian actor/comedian has created a gold adorned character--some sort of hip hop video nightmare brought to life. complete with sing song cadence, wanna be hustler, playa' pimp fantasy role playing for the sake of cheap laughs, who stands on a pyramid of women, and seems to speak with a form of ebonics. :grr::mad:
while i don't expect much from the advertising industry, i'd like to think i don't have to turn on the tv and find yet another faction of ethnic man, perpetuating the ridiculous,
"hustler got it going on" stereotype, that has grown to epic proportions with the popularity of certain hip hop dudes. the same guys that seem to have changed "pimping" to a verb that is something to aspire to, as opposed to the reality--a criminal, who exploits and abuses women.
i sincerely dislike seeing black men play the
"exploitation of women is making me rich and cool" role. so much so, that i choose not to view such music videos, nor do i support the music that speaks of, or shows such.
so no, i don't think it's funny, or cute to see an asian man doing this shit.
what's worse? the fact that the asshole in the ad, isn't just some typical guy trying to make a buck in entertainment. he's a fucking md....yes a doctor. he went to med school prior to pursuing entertainment, and was practicing as a physician while trying to get work in in the industry. my point being that he's educated, and i'd think he'd know better. but apparently, i'm wrong. what-fuckin-ever, makes you popular in the eyes of the media, i guess...:eyes: (sigh) :puke:
