Racist ad campaign for UK train co.

[piya]

Good point Mo, except we all know that will never happen, that would not be tongue in cheek would it?

The ad's been entered in the Stereotype of the Month competition at Blue Corn Comics.

I've just noticed that the same ad agency, Rainey Kelly Campbell Roalfe, was responsible earlier this year for another ad featuring a stereotypical native person, this time an Inuit. At this point it's hard not to think of Bill Hicks' infamous exhortation to ad-industry people.

Rainey Kelly Campbell Roalfe is the UK subsidiary of a US based ad agency, Young and Rubicam. They both have annoying Flash-based sites: the sound effects on the RKCR site will drive you insane, so turn the sound down.
