Incidentally, C. Stanley,

“Apparently in the TV land created by home security system advertisers, ALL home invasions are committed by white guys.”

This could subject you to accusations of being a regular on Free Republic, if not on Stormfront.

I do have to agree with superdestroyer a bit on how phony and forced a lot of the groupings are though- and even more so on the anti-crime ads. Apparently in the TV land created by home security system advertisers, ALL home invasions are committed by white guys.

Every table is filled with one whites, one light skinned black, and one Hispanic looking person. As if I have ever seen whites and blacks eating together at any chain restaurant. Look at how Red Lobster adjusts its advertisements to let everyone know that they cater to blacks. <br><br>Look at the Capital One commercials that were about stolen identities. Every thief had a think southern accent when idenity theft is a crime committed overwhelmingly by immigrations and minorities. A commercial about identity theft never had a minority in it.
