* Speaking of awful SuperBowl commercials, Sales Genie released not one, \\\'\\\'\\\'but two\\\'\\\'\\\' commercials that are not only blatantly racist and out of the times, but also soul-suckingly humorless. [[http://www.myspace.com/video/vid/27485694#pm_cmp=vid_OEV_P_P The first]] shows an Indian telemarketer using the service to improve the sales. This would be funny, if it wasn\\\'t for A. him speaking with a stereotypical Indian accent, B. him having to feed a stereotypically large Indian family, and C. the ad insulting Americans who were losing their jobs to outsourcing offices in India and China at the time. And if the first one wasn\\\'t bad enough, [[http://www.myspace.com/video/vid/27486560#pm_cmp=vid_OEV_P_P Sales Genie released another the following year,]] this time ripping on Chinese families by [[DudeNotFunny portraying them as fat panda bears who speak broken English.]]

Must I point out this rule?

\\\"Merely being offensive in its subject matter is not enough to justify a work as So Bad It\\\'s Horrible. Hard as it is to imagine at times, there is a market for all types of deviancy (no matter how small a niche it is). It has to \\\'\\\'fail to appeal even to that niche\\\'\\\' to qualify as this.\\\"

Must I point out this rule? I, for one, hate racism, but rules are rules.
