Video: Offensive Pandas? -  329 days ago

 

I think the following Super Bowl commercial is weakly scripted and seem (to me) uneffective as well as unmemorable. But is it offensive? To some it is, specifically the Pandas with the Asian accents. Do these present a negative and mocking sterotype? The reaction to the salesgenie.com spot shows that we must be careful how we portray ethnicities. Stereotyping is easy to do, but can alienate your audience quickly. If you’ve got a thought about this commercial, I’d be interested in your take on it.
