The Commercials Are What Counts

[sport historian]

I read somewhere that regarding TV, the commercials are what is important. It doesn't matter what the programming is, drama or sports, just that the products advertised sell.


I have read that this Forum's favorite athlete Michael Vick (just joking), gets his enormous salary because the products he endorses sell. Since the commercials are what counts, it doesn't matter in the corporate world whether Vick wins a Super Bowl. It only matters in that this would make him more marketable.


Incidentally, do Vick's Falcons draw higher ratings than other teams? He is supposed to be more "exciting" than the old-fashioned drop back pocket passer.

Vick was the reason the falcons played three monday night games this year.

Commercials are all that matter, and commercials that market to blacks (or market to Whites by using blacks)are the most important of all.

Marketing gurus have long known that blacks are the ultimate consumers: they will literally piss-away every red cent that comes near them. The term "n*gger rich" refers to having tons of bling to show off, and not two cents saved in the bank. Thus, when affirmative action results in blacks being put into high-paying jobs, the real winners are the retailers, who know that every dime of that black money will go toward plasmas, "wearable gold," chrome spinners, and $400.00 jogging suits.

On the other hand, products are marketed to Whites by black athletes/stars for another reason: to make the black sponsors appear more attractive to young Whites. It's filthy and destructive but it's the society we live in...unless and until we decide to take our nation back.
