AdFreak reported the new DIRECTV spot starring “The Truth” has been yanked from YouTube. Comments were becoming overly negative, with cries of racism, reverse racism and abusing the elderly. Actually, it’s more like abusing the viewers, although DIRECTV claims the spot will continue running on network TV.
Grey Advertising in New York created the spot, and the staffers will no doubt express bewilderment over the racist charges. But the explanation is simple: Grey is White—so the shop should avoid portraying anything Black. And that’s the truth.
