I mentioned it twice. Learn to read rather than attack.

Again, learn to read and quit assuming. Another troll, trying to attack me rather than discuss the topic. Trying to pretend I'm outrage over the fucking video that I clearly said...I didn't even care because it's so stupid. READ boy, read the thread and back off the personal bullshit.

Clever marketing strategy... they're getting everyone to view the ad without having to pay one cent in advertising costs to actually air the thing.

Grow some thick skin...those aren't attacks, I'm asking you questions. 

Your latest posts seem to show concern only for the black guys and racism against them...not how this producer, who is black, demeans the white woman.

What the fuck are you talking about?

MODS! Here we go again. I will not entertain it this time.

Very clever...walking a VERY thin line at that.

The video is here and the racist comments below the video are beyond sad. Doesn't matter how hard working and successful you are, if you're black in the eyes of many...you're a lazy thug.

Pepsi Company was stupid to have given it the okay, but they are hiding behind the black rapper, wrote and produced it.

Yeah, the "snitches get stitches" line is disgusting and plays into the "don't snitch" policy while the killings in many communities would end if people weren't so afraid to report crimes.  Not good!

I'm asking you questions, why can't you engage in discussion instead of crying to the MODS that you're getting attacked? (your'e not, but you ARE insulting me calling me a boy) You are the OP of this thread right?  I'm going to reply to you first.

This ad is downright disgusting on all levels.  ALL levels.

Marketing 101: It doesn't matter what they're saying about you, as long as they're talking about you.

Thank you. I'm sick of it.

And that's the question I asked in the OP. Is it great marketing....even with the video pulled, we are discussing both Tyler and Dew.

Just like in politics, the opponent says something outrages and takes it back but it's in the atmosphere and the press will run with the story.

Having been in the business of testing product ads (and TV shows, movie trailers and political ads), I would guarantee that this ad, if it was close to being aired, was thoroughly tested with various demographic and regional groups. I've seen marketing companies come up with some really goofy stuff... and some of it actually works with the target audiences.

Yeah but they're usually careful to protect their brand. I do makeup for commercials and some are just for the internet because many young people have computers but don't watch tv. They watch everything via internet. I wonder how many takes it took to get the damn goat to stand still? lol

I worked on set with a dog and by the end of the day, every human hated that damn dog and his trainers. UGH! He was not interested in shooting a commercial that day.

Racist interpretations aside for a moment, it's hard to imagine that this totally idiotic and amateurish youtube video would ever be remotely considered as a real advertisement.

I've seen stupid mock commercials like this on youtube for Sonic Drive-in too. They look like they are made by giggly high school kids.

I don't understand the point. Is this directed at some kind of MTV/Bevis-Butthead youtube subculture? Who is the demographic?

I don't see where it does anything positive for the banding.

Has it been confirmed that Mountain Dew even commissioned this so-called work?

Yes it has been confirmed.

I can imagine!

Trying to get a cat to act for a commercial must be a real chore too I bet.

the show he does, loiter squad, is just one long series of stereotypes.

He was then asked what he stands for.

"Being rich and trying to have as much fun as I can," he replied.
