Hm.
I stared at the add for a few minutes trying to figure out how it could be offensive. Then I saw the black guy. |

QUOTE(digital.fragrance @ Aug 5 2006, 06:02 PM)  The phrase itself - no. The picture - yes. The way she's holding his face... that's offensive, especially put into the black/white context. Yea exactly that.. I can see why it would be offensive that way..so yea i guess it was better for them to pull it.. |

I agree with digital fragrance.
They should've left race out of it. There should've been two people of the same race, one wearing black and one wearing white. And that advertisement is just stupid. What kind of marketing is that?
