Ok... I just have to ask the Americans on forums about this.
In the uk we have recently been blessed with a certain advert. Which frankly is the most stupid thing I have ever seen in my life and each time I see it I am just puzzled as to who on earth could think this crap could sell anything?
So I have to ask, is this Skechers advert (thats commercial) normal for you lot?
Frankly an apology would be nice as well  .

yeah...hoe long will it take them to realise that american advertising doesn't work anywhere except for america.
Maybe they were hoping the big brother brigade would lap it up , maybe marketing peeps can't be bothered to find a new barrel to sc******shrugs*
People dissapoint me. End my dissapointment. |

Owning sketchers makes you a retard?
Pushes your voice up an octave?
Means you will never leave the company of other sketcher-wearing caricatures?
All of the above?
I don't get it. 
Is it a spoof? It looks like a bad spoof.

its a spoof of some teen/college based drama reality tv shows, where like 10 young adults live in a house together and juvenile deliquinism(sp), and general acts of utter stupidity ensue for your veiwing pleasure.
if you dont get it, consider yourself very lucky.

I meant was it a spoof advert. I can't see anyone actually airing that. I mean, it moves 'retarded' into the realms of the understatement.

After watching the advert and you explaining it, I hope the show flopped and bankrupted the producers causing them to eat their own spleens for cash on Japanese television. It's truly an injustice to the TV lisence paying public.

Do NOT blame Americans for this! Blame the tard at the advertising agency that came up with it! Blame MTV!
I'm an American, and, to help us gain standing with the rest of the world, I will personally shoot the person responsible for this commercial. Info would help. 
Everybody wins!

I actually feel a little stupider for having watched that crap, who on earth thought that would sell something over here? Keep things like that in the land of over the top explosions, comedy violence and extreme fat thank you very much.

I'd have to say unfortunately there are enough mindless pop culture enthusiasts, who dont think for themselves and are so awed by lackluster entertainment and just watch it and think its cool because its made by MTV that shows like that actually do pretty well. Im embarrassed to admit things like this exist in my country, but well... :/

Yes, but horribly tasteless spoof commercials of horribly tasteless reality tv shows... please for my own sanity tell me that doesnt exist everywhere

It amazes me to see the capacity of some people to degreade others to make themselves look superior...
I mean, they use some stupid advertisement they saw in UK that I have never seen on American TV to start bashing people living in America. It's sad. What's even more upsetting is that they try to make themselves look like poster childs while doing all that bashing... I don't know, but in my opinion, you can't claim to be the examplary person of the proper human behavior while spewing hatred in the very same post. It's a border line contradiction.
This applies to both sides of the table.
Congratulations.

it's stupid but considering all the other ads out there i fail to see how this one in particualr warranted a post.
but apparently they did a good job since you thought it was thread-worthy. even if it is because you thought it was stupid, they still win.
or maybe they didn't win at all, maybe the OP works for skechers ZOMG (insert x files music and conspiracy theorist attitude guy)

Yikes, now I read what I wrote I can see what you mean.. Honest, I don't have a problem with Americans, many of my friends are american. I can only put it down to already being in a bad mood when I saw the video and then posting without engaging my brain. Sorry to anyone I offended with my anti-american writing but I can't say how much I don't mean it.
Again, I'm sorry.
