'Dew' the Right Thing?
Mountain Dew has finally pulled an online commercial called "the most racist in history" in this AdWeek report today. "The 60-second spot,
which is still live on a few individuals' YouTube channels, depicts a
badly battered woman on crutches who is being pressed by a cop to pick a
suspect out of a police lineup of five African-American males and a
goat named Felicia." It is indeed horrid on so many levels, including view of women. Watch it here if you must.
