Am I the only one annoyed by these McDonald's commercials for their McCafe sugar drink/coffee where it's set at some sort of bizarre 80's Spike Lee 'coffee/jazz club' with a smooth MC wearin his retro hipster hat and talkin his pseudo spoken word/bullshit poetry rap to an audience exclusively made up of black people who like shit coffee? Are black people falling for this crap? It's the HEIGHT of pandering as far as I'm concerned, and I suppose I don't have a right to be offended but jesus motherfucking christ am I offended. Really? Coffee for black people? That's your campaign for this crap? And it's not the Black People part that bums me out - it's the Jazz Cafe host and the implication that the African American community will respond to the concept that McDonald's over-embellished coffee drink is 'smooth and cool' as Jazz.
