How could you take something clearly intended to be a comedy piece so seriously?CalebTue, 18 Nov 2008 13:38:29 -0000http://www.mouthpiecesports.com/blog/2008/11/13/the-retracted-and-disavowed-espn-commercial-casting-call/#comment-3860723It is beyond silly to get worked up over this. This is an ad agency trying to draw people into a commercial. It's completely normal for them to want to add some color to the characters. And in doing so it is perfectly natural (1) to try to associate with a picture of some kind of kid people might think actually might be found at a particular school and (2) to caricature the characters to some extent. <br> <br>Treating a character sketch as a generalizing stereotype is something Awful Announcing did, not anything the agency did. Shame on you for adding your own petty rabble-rousing to Awful's.#1 FanMon, 17 Nov 2008 10:20:55 -0000
