There’s a joke in here somewhere, I just know it.
This These have to be the most WTF YouTube videos of all-time.
So many questions, so little time to answer them. Is there an epidemic wave of Jungle Fever hitting Italy? Do Italian men secretly have “dark desires”? Is it still acceptable to call negroes “colored”? What happened to all the clothes? Are they implying that Black people lurk in your washing machine siphoning detergent, stealing clothes and kidnapping white people? Who comes up with this lunacy?
Also, the most important question, by far: What the….?

boo hoo this is racist that is racist
lets scrutinize everything looking for racism so we can fulfill our thirst for bitching . black people in the usa are totally racist against whites and yet i hardly ever see a white person complaining racism . just chill the **** out ! if u cant take a joke just close the damn window
*scratches head*
^ um, calm down b. did i miss something? i don’t think contra was complaining about anything.
anyway, i don’t think that particular commercial aired all over Italy, not in Rosarno at least.

*scratches head, turns around, looks at Gotty, turns back around, and hits luu with the one-two*
*then walks away like Judd Nelson at the end of The Breakfast Club*
Shorty is the first joint looks straight. She can wash my unmentionables anytime.
I have to admit though, that second vid did make me chuckle a bit.
@luu CHIIIIIIILLL. That shit commercial series is a mad random.
I have never seen any of this stuff in Italy, and it is for the better.
I think it’s supposed to be funny, but maybe it’s not…
Anyway, I don’t see it as particularly racist. At the end of the day, the Italian (white) guy is portrayed as totally un-sexy, while the black guy is super-fit.
Do Italian men secretly have “dark desires”?
Definitely not, as far as I can tell, if you are talking about black men. If you are talking about black women, some Italian men appreciate them. I do, for example.
The point isn’t that the black dude is “super fit”. Its that the commercial traffics in stereo types that portray blacks as hypersexualized exotic creatures rather than a diverse group of human beings.

LOL @ complaining that they made black people look too desirable. Next time, we’ll stick with Steve Urkle
Some of you are idiots. You’ll understand the impact of stereotypes the next time you get pulled over, or shot and killed for being in possession of a deadly (wallet)weapon, unless of course your white…
I am a black male and I don’t think it’s a racist joke. I do think it’s a little weird though. Perhaps the author was trying to play with people’s perception of reality and it came across the wrong way. Perhaps he or she was smoking a little too much weed.
