Surely, if you think this is racist you have got to be a bit racist your-self.
If you lot know what I mean.

You were calling Reina stupid, you unconvincing backtracking sheep.

Anyone who finds this racist is a sad and easily offended tool.

I'm not calling Reina stupid. What I mean is, the story-line thing for the advert is a bit stupid/silly.
Your right though, the video is not racist.

The skydiving part

I don't see anything offensive about the ad. It's actually a little amusing.

Getting a little sensitive and desperate there RR

Not much material with which to work this week, eh, RR?

For the ad to make sense, it actually needs a king of a tribe. How many tribes exist these days? You only got African tribes and Pacific Islander tribes.

I fail to see the racial discrimination in that one.

The advert My favourite was the sky-diving one.

That first one .. the man is huge, it's like a cartoon or something Like the incredible Hulk. Doesn't even seem real .. so surreal.

Racist?

I agree. All those black people were tricked into it.

Is this serious, like actually fucking serious?

If people genuinely get offended by shit like this they should go live in a cave somewhere, so fucking moronic.

Disgusting, should be banned for alteast 9 games.

Are you suggesting that black people should live in caves? Fucking racist.

Ah, them Irish folk.

We bail them out dozens of times, and they repay us by becoming racists.

All the people who wind me up the most are combining

That traditional Irish self pity won't get you anywhere, I'm afraid.

Sean here does tend to crack some times. Not that I take satisfaction from his outpouring of emotion, too religious to be so immoral.

the sick dude in the bus

Nice article you made RR, but I think you're trying to hard to troll

Oh wait

It saddens me that some of you can't see the racism in this.

Why use a tribe rather than a western royal court? If it's really a wordplay rather than an excuse to make blacks look like savages, then why not go to a place that actually has a King, rather than a black tribe? It might shock some of you morons to know that tribes don't have Kings or Queens, they're a Western invention. If they used a white King though, they'd have to portray white people as endorsing rape, and a white King as a homosexual, and we can't have that can we?

Let's just ignore your everyday advert with jokes/situations which could be seen as controversial....because they involve a white/standard British people no one cares. Do the same thing and make it a tribe.....and it becomes racist.

You find me an advert that portrays white British people as homosexual rapist savages.

ResurrectionRooney wrote:You find me an advert that portrays white British people as homosexual rapist savages.

Why would you think they are being portrayed as savages?

Homosexual. I think it's an innocent play on Reina meaning "Queen"...but obviously there is this homosexuality too. One person is black and homosexual, so all blacks are suddenly homosexual. Do the whole tribe perform homosexual acts? No.....it's one person who fancies Reina. There are lots of people who are homosexual on TV...are all the producers who include them in the programs being offensive by stereotyping everyone as homosexual.....because obviously if one person on TV is homosexual....everyone who is in any way comparable to that person is too?

I'd say rapists is going a bit far too. If I ask a woman to "banga banga" is that rape? A request and an action are different. Even if you want to make that assumption it's the same as my point above on homosexuality. There have been many rapists on TV, you don't assume that anyone comparable to that person is a rapist too. The only reason you make the point is because it's a black person, i.e. a minority.

You also have to think about this....can you really take a moral high ground when being offended by homosexuality? I agree that I wouldn't want to be thought of as homosexual.....but in this PC society, where there homophobia is wrong....how can you really bring up that argument?

Already explained these.

"Luis Saurez is going to die, how we kill him i dont know, cut him up from head to toe, all i know is Saurez is going to die"

It's true, Luis Suarez will die one day. Soon hopefully.

Although it's controversial regardless of the race portrayed, as it implies Reina getting raped. I understand why they banned it. Reina shouldn't have agreed to do this in the first place imo.

Does it fuck.

Yes it does .

The interpreter says when introducing the two: "This is rey (king) and this is Reina (queen). Then the chief says something again which the interpreter refuses to translate, then they shove Reina to him. Then Reina says: "Siento segurooo", which is ironic obviously. That implies him getting raped/married to the chief.
Quite a clever advert, although I understand why some black people take offence.
