      The ones I'm seeing here feature mostly white people. But then, I'm overseas.

          I'M LOVIN' IT

          Not so much racist as "god-awful".

          The advertising geniuses behind it need to be fired and then shot repeatedly in the head.

              If anything I think it's an insult to white people everywhere because it sounds like Eminem.

                      I haven't seen these adverts. Perhaps I am well advised to avoid it

                        They're on all the time, you've done well to avoid them. (I rarely watch TV these days and have seen it a dozen times)

                          i don't find them racist. i do think, though, that they're trying wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too hard for their own good, to get a specific market while simultaneously pushing other markets away. not everybody likes hip-hop.

                          other ones in recent memory that tried too hard:

                          dr pepper's rap memorial to some dead guy
                          longhorn and that damned annoying big-haired *****.

                            "lots of change please" and that affro definitely seem to be taking the piss out of black culture.

                              nah not really... they don't show anything real negatively... just some weird people who can't stop eating mcdonalds and act like weirdos. the Checkers commercials are the same way... "Gotta Eat"

                              what is with that Lovin' and gotta **** though?
