Oh yeah, and what's with all the racist ads on TV? The yoplait (sp?) ones were pretty shocking and then tonight I notice a new one for Carefree silk or something. Anyway the basic premise of the ad is these two nice looking Anglo girls are sitting in a boat somewhere in SE Asia, they are surrounded by nasty dirty looking unwashed masses types, at some point a chicken even walks between them! Then, using their previously untapped ingenuity they buy some silk (uh huh, note tie into product) and string themselves up some nice hammocks well away from the aforementioned undesirable types. The slogan is "for women who know how to protect themselves." Nice.
