Look at the way these folks are dressed. The two white people are dressed pretty casually, albeit quite LL Bean, and the two black people are dressed up like they're going out.

Can you imagine them sending this add to print if the way they were dressed had been reversed? Why is it we have to see black people dressed up for them to be respectable? Why is it that we can put two young white folks in wrinkly shirts that aren't buttoned and they don't look like slackers, they look casual? Is this turning into a rant? It was supposed to just be an observation, hrm.

Tell me what you think of my rant.


By the way, this is an add for Bell Atlantic's new voice dialing service, which allows you to dial your favorite number simply by saying a name.
