Dude, this Tony Sinclair guy makes me wanna hurl! He's such a baffoon. It's like Snoop Dogg in Chrysler or OJ when he did Hertz ads 30 years back--they picked them because mainstream crowds dug 'em... you know?

It's no conspiracy theory or anything, it's just that he (Sinclair) is so corny this strikes me as somebody's idea of a cool black guy--provided that the "somebody" is not a cool black guy.
