ROS sends us a link to a Hill article <\/a>about Sheila Jackson Lee who is spitting mad about the really important stuff. I mean would could be more important than a Pepsi ad?<\/p>\n

In the ad for Pepsi Max, a black woman sitting on a park bench gets angry with her husband after an attractive, white female jogger sits down next to the couple and smiles and waves at the man. <\/p>\n

After the man smiles back, his girlfriend or wife gets angry and whips her Pepsi Max can at him. The man ducks, and the can hits the attractive jogger in the head. The ad is titled “Love hurts.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

My goodness…that’s as bad as Iran’s nukes or Hezzbollah having it’s own country.. But just to make the caricature of herself complete, Jackson or Lee or Sheila or whatever says;<\/p>\n

“In this month of African-American history where we’re trying to celebrate what is good and great, it certainly seems ridiculous that Pepsi would utilize this kind of humor,” she said. “It was not humorous. It was demeaning \u2014 an African-American woman throwing something at an African-American male and winding up hitting a Caucasian woman.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yup, the commercial would have been more appropriate on Boxer Day, or Caucasian Non-Joggers Month. <\/p>\n

Jackson Lee also said it would be great to have a lot more women in ads at the Super Bowl.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I never realized there was a shortage of women in ads during the Superbowl. I am aware of the fact that the women in the ads during the Superbowl DON’T look remotely like Jackson, Lee or Sheila.<\/p>\n

Here’s the ad, so you can be outraged, too.
