I see this commercial randomly, certainly not all the time and i watch a ton of TV. When I do see it I seem to see it "clumped' as it were. Meaning I might go a week or several weeks w/o seeing it then will see it several times during a specific show. Hardly enough to get truly irritated by it. I wonder what you are watching that you see it so often.
I actually really like the commercial. I liked the original ones too even if I was slightly puzzled at first.
I would rather see commercials like this than many other ones that are probably liked by the OP and detested by me.
Each to his own. They wouldn't keep using the concept if it hadn't proved popular.
I was going to say that. After I bought my Hyundai I found out it's the same company as KIA. The customer who informed me said they are a good car and that made me happy.

I guess if you dislike the commericial that much, they obviously not targeting you. I'm not a fan of truck, Go Daddy, Pepsi Max, and old school cig commercials, but they aren't targeting me, so who cares!?!
I will say however, despite the fact I will never buy Old Spice, I LOVE those commercials. some do have cross-demo appeal
Oh yeah, Baby!!!

The interesting thing is, I didn't say anything about race. And yet that's how it translated in your head because that's almost certainly the contextual prism through which you viewed this commercial, "rats" and all. You know what they say about the lady who doth protest too much...
See, why don't you just say it???? Come on, I know you want to.........it is fine with me.
Ummm....please point out the specific part of the commercial where the hamsters are displaying "sociopathic" behavior and commiting "drive-by shootings". Oh, and while you're at it...please quote the post where someone specifically and explicitly called you a "racist".
Due to the high level of violence surrounding Hip-Hop and people wearing Gangsta clothing, I consider this lifestyle sociopathic. These rats, in my eyes are getting in their "ride" to go do a drive-by shooting, gonna bust a cap into a sucka.
No one specifically called me racist, I get the impression that is what was implied..........I could be wrong.
