Essay 4226


Not completely sure the ad was created by a White agency, but want to believe only a White agency could assemble a multicultural band like this.

[MultiCultClassics often critiques questionable work created by multicultural advertising agencies. But the truth is, in terms of volume, percentages and any other measuring standard, the majority of lousy ideas are produced by White agencies. In the spirit of inclusion, this week MultiCultClassics spotlights some White ad trash.]

You're obviously unfamiliar with Oakland based Double Funk Crunch (love that name) who appeared at an Obama rally this year.

I'm betting there's a pack of Newports among them. Or at least a pack of Kools.

That ad hits me like a flying splinter everytime I see it. Could they be any less real as rockers? The guitarist doesn't even have a pick. And the wardrobe looks mid-90s. Makes me think of the Saved By the Bell band singing "Friends Forever".
