I don’t know that I’ll be able to buy anything off of eBay for a while.
Last night while interupting the show I was watching the also were able to gross me out at the same time.
I was already annoyed that they were trying to disrupt my train of thought (the show) but then they add man breasts to the picture.
Literally.

Their commercial started out as all of their recent ad campain bits do, a
person in an ‘ordinary situation’ starts singing a well known show tune
melody but with words that somehow convey happiness, stuff and more stuff
– all bought on eBay.
This time a large black man is standing behind two white men in an elevator – which is pure racialism.
Keeping the black man down – that’s not right!
But then, they put the black man down further by having him squeeze out from behind the two men, run out of the elevator and dance.
That is where I wanted to get up and leave the room.
Man breasts began to flap.

Because he was so large and because of camera and lighting angles his chest flapped as he danced and whirled.
It was hard for me to watch, and when he stepped back in behind the white men back at the end of the commercial I was ready for a commercial break, or at least to break from seeing that commercial.
I suppose that the only consolation is that he wasn’t wearing $2,000,000.00 diamond encrusted shoes.
They’re doing that for the oscars this year 🙁

PS, this isn’t intended to be a rant on ‘fat people’, ‘overweight’, the ‘obese’ or men with man breasts, but just plain poor marketing and bad camera work. A different outfit may have minimized the jiggling, but that was not taken into consideration.
