So A Bull Walks Into A Bar and…

Gets slapped with accusations of racism.

So the video above is a Cravendale Milk commercial, a company that is based in the UK. The commercial caused some stir because people believed it had racial undertones that implied something really deeper than what it was. The bull walks into a bar, looking like a cow I might add (already a silly commercial lol), and wants milk. So he is all angry and aggressive drinking milk, and they run out of milk, and put him through the purifying system to make him pure. Making him pure means filtering out the black spots and he is now a happy white bull checking himself out in the mirror giving flowers to some other barn animal or what not.

It was cleared of any charges of racism, but some people still are a bit bothered over the pond I suppose. I personally think the commercial was harmless, and it only is racist if you go searching for racism. Milk is white, I can’t get mad if the filtration process makes it white. Some people suggest that they should of had a chocolate milk commercial, but when did it become their obligation to do that?

Honestly, it is getting to the point where people just look for racism and problems in everything. There are a lot of things that get slapped with the racist label, like that poor girl a few years back and her Caucasian club, I am not Caucasian, but I understand why she wanted to have a club to celebrate the different cultures and traditions that are associated. When did minorities only get to form cultural clubs? The only thing I saw wrong was the name of the club…..but yada yada …I get off topic….we were supposed to be talking about milk

Milk is white. Get over it. This commercial is meant to entertain, stop looking for subconscious messages in everything….or we will put you in an institute and name you paranoia.

Just my 2 cents. Till next time.
