    That ad is only offensive if you cruise the interwebz looking at cuckold IR porn!!:smt024

    The b-ball players are shown in series of shots throwing basketballs at fans, running through houses, kitchens, living rooms, jumping on dining tables, etc., looking like an '80s Twisted Sister video.

    The Black dude jumps in bed between a white couple, throws his basketball towards the camera, then turns to the wife, who's still under the covers, (the Black b-ball player is laying on top), and turns towards her like he's trying to mack!!lol

    It was cute and flirty if anything, it's not like he whipped out his dick and slapped her upside the head!!

    If that's racially offensive, I need to step up my game!!!:smt043

    The Afr-Am b-ball players in Australia apparantly think it's racist.

    But, I agree...it's no biggie.

    OMG, c'mon, its a joke! Its an awesome ad.
    If anything, the WHITE Aussie players should feel offended since they are shown smashing everything but the hoop! And the women cheerleaders are being sexually exploited!

    The world needs to lighten up! :rolleyes:

    Wow people really aren't happy unless there's shit to be outraged about.

    They're outraged about dumb shit, when there are bigger issues at hand...

    I will never stop saying this. Can we please figure out hunger first before all this other dumb shit. It seems pretty simple yet in this country one in seven kids go hungry to point they're almost starving. This ridiculous basketball shit is for the birds.

    I'm with you on that, but I don't see it happening.

    Trust me I'm gonna make it happen. I feel like its my lifes purpose. It can be done. Its so fricking simple. If every working person committed to spending 20 dollars a paycheck on food ie oatmeal and canned goods they can keep a family of three nourished for a week. I'm not saying its the overall solution but its my answer for starvation in my area. I spend five times that on drinking and going out every week. I can find the extra to make sure some kid isn't starving in Yonkers.

    It's a great idea and you should start a nonprofit. I commend you for trying and wish you luck, but I think your mission will be done in a small group.

    People are so wrapped up in their own shit that they can't see past themselves. Something major has to happen for people to pay attention or even to "wake up".

    Well if I can get three other friends to do it as well then we're feeding one family each month. I'm all about baby steps kid.

    kid rasta fell of his game with this one

    lol

    so wait....a black guy jumps into bed with a white couple and automatically this shit is racist? The only thing racist about this trife, is the fact that people STILL have a hard time seeing black guys with white girls.
