5875: Total Worldwide Cheesiness.

Colgate smiles with celebrities for Black and Latino audiences. And White audiences got Brooke Shields. And it just goes on and on and on and on and on…

5484: A Case Against Multicultural Ads.

What’s worse than this inane commercial? Seeing identically inane Caucasian and Latino versions.

5116: Passionate About Stereotypes.

Princess Of Passion. There’s a side of you destined to be revealed. Exotic. Uninhibited. Fun. So, of course, the advertiser cast a Black female for the role.

5112: Naturally Bad Advertising.

You put natural things into what you made?!? Plus, the noodle looks like a wild umbilical cord.

5106: Pimp My Online Advertising.

The General should create a promotional tie-in with Chelsea Clinton.

5059: Stink Outside The Bun.

Adscam and Adrants have already panned this Taco Bell spot, and rightly so. Additionally, some folks have already noted the stereotypes. But let’s review and rehash it all anyway.

What’s most amazing—besides the realization that the commercial was produced in the 21st century—is the culturally clueless depiction of a mariachi band. The music track, incidentally, feels like it was scored by a monkey band. The cartoonish accents are a nice touch, especially the hollering of the tagline. You can almost picture the creative director at the recording session telling the voiceover talent, “Can you sound more Mexican?”

Taco Bell is constantly attempting to woo Latino customers. This is not the way to do it. In fact, the effort is downright shameful—it’s offensive on nearly every level imaginable.

Draftfcb is responsible for this mess. They should be beaten like a piñata, then fired. Pronto.

5057: Thanks, Marian Salzman.*

The perfect Valentine’s Day gift for wiggers is here.

*Post title explanation is here.

5053: Whassup.

Not sure what’s going on here. Explanations are welcome.

5037: Be Afraid. Be Very Afraid.

Not sure why anyone would find it comforting to have three old men hovering behind your bed. Plus, the doctor appears to be giving new meaning to the term headboard.

5010: The Family That Plays Together…

Family Time ain’t what it used to be.
