PLEASE tell me this was REALLY bad timing... Olympics ad

Recommended Posts

The Olympics commenter mentions that Gabby is the first African American woman to win an all-around medal in women's gymnastics. He closes with the obvious statement about how maybe other African American girls are thinking, "I can do that, too."

Immediately cut to the commercial of a monkey with a crooked-toothed grin hanging from something-or-other, as if to be a gymnast.

Accident? My naivetee is hoping and praying that NBC and ad execs are phoning each other furiously at this moment, saying, "What the FUCK was THAT?????"

It's a commercial for the new show "Animal Practice" about a vet's office. I've seen it aired other times, but that sounds like EXTREMELY bad timing.

It had better be really bad timing. Right now I have the biggest crush on that girl and I will lose my shit if it was in an way deliberate. I wouldn't think that would get past network execs, but...:/

The commercials were likely planned in advance - well ahead of the wins and subsequent commentary. Or at least that's how it generally seems to work in radio.

Of course I can see why you might be suspicious, though. I mean, look at all the bigoted dickfaces who showed up at Chick-Fil-A to peck at the bird-droppings.

I agree. Commercials are planned in advance. The person who made the comment couldn't possibly know the exact time each commercial was set to air, every time zone, which geographical areas, and then timed the conversation to happen right before it came on in the area where the OP lives. lol

I had the exact same reaction when I saw that commercial last night. I agree it was just unfortunate timing, but boy was it EVER unfortunate timing. :shock:
