JUST CURIOUS: Dominos Goes From Boogers To Rapping Pasta
By Nazneen Patel May 5, 2009 4:15 pm
After the recent exposure of Domino’s not-so-sanitary food preparation tactics, I’ve boycotted the establishment altogether.
But I couldn’t pass up on this cutesie but odd commercial for Domino’s Pasta. They were clearly riding on the heels of their main competitor, Pizza Hut, who also launched a pasta menu. The commercial, featuring a rapping, hip-hoppin piece of penne, was at once hilarious and pointless. No wonder it got pulled from TV.

THIS IS NOT RACIST
SORRY
I think it’s great that Nas puts this info out here, simply because we as black people tend to sleep on matters like this and bury our heads in the sand until something bad happens. Unfortunately some us are ignorant to think racism no longer exist. It’s usually the stupid uncle tom asses that think that way!! Wake -up !!
Thx. Nas for keeping us conscience folks informed.
I will share a horrible confession, I am on hiatus as a television viewer, get all my content including all the teevee content I want from the web. it is all there, if you want to go find it, it is there for you. but damn i don’t get to see the domino’s ads! oh well, saying that, my take on the pasta thing is I can’t believe that people have given up on boiling pasta and fixing a meal for one and all concerned. If you multiply the 4.99 by the number of members in the fam, you could shop at a nice trendy market, get some good stuff, and do alot better than the low end paste and god knows what sauce at domino’s. they say you get in it 30 minutes, ok? you can cook up alot of really good pasta at home in 30 minutes, trust me. i don’t see anything racist about the ad, by the way. referring to miss patel as a half breed, now that is mighty racist, thinks me.
The rapping pasta noodle is funny as hell. It’s a little cheesy (no pon intended), but when the parents f**k the pasta up, i fell over laughing because that would be my reaction too: “what the f**k? A talking noodle?!” Racists? Hell no! The noodle didn’t even sound black.
Of the list of commercials posted just under the noodle add, i was only offended by the reciept that read “Customer:stupid N****r.” However, i dont know if the reciept was printed by a black or white person…so there you go. I also don;t know if it was given to a black or white person: anybody can be a stupid n****r!
The bobble head dolls, while ugly as hell, are not offensive becuase i do not know if they were created by a person who thought they would be humorous or a person who thought they were cute.
As for PETA dressing like the klan, their point was that people who mistreat animals are just as ignorant as the klan, and that those people’s behavior towards animals is as sickening as is the klan’s towards minorities. Why be offended? I actually agreee!
I dont know what Ms. Patel’s problem is with the life’s a bush commercial: the black girl in it really does have bushy, curly hair. Like the commercial, i’m not saying that it’s bad: it’s just a fact. If the hair on her head is any indication of what is between her legs, she needed to be in the comercial for removing hair at the bikinni line.
And as for the old navy commercial…well, its just funny. Did this reporter miss all of the ones that paint the white dummies as stupid? How about the one with the black, child dummie that is intelligent and keeps correcting the adult, white female?
What is racists about Obama’s likeness being on a beloved children’s snack? shouldn’t he be flattered??
And as for resident evil five, why the hell shouldn’t there be black zombies? I didn’t see any white people boycotting The Living-dead movies when all you saw were white zombies!!! Hell, maybe black people should have boycotted then. I’m glad to see that we exists in somebody’s morbid imaginary world: i was tired of feeling left out.
I will agree with Ms. Patel that the NewYork post’s cartoon was blatantly racists, and the company should be shut down for running it! However, the postcard that says “president, now available in black” Is not racists to me. IT has a message of power! As a black man, i will go get tons of them just to mail them to prejudice white people and piss them off!!!
blackplanet.com needs fire the person that is coming up with this racist b.s. If we keep viewing stupid photo’s and video that he put out. The few of us with learning problems will never learn. It’s true racism exist, but not like this. I joke alot about white people and the funny things they do. I not racist. I know I’m not a monkey, and I can care less of what they think about me. It’s what we think of ourself, that really matters. The old navy commercial, the whites love the black woman shape that is why they was focusing on the black woman. I’m just upset they did not make baby girl a little thicker, you know f**k blackplanet.com writers, Nazneen Patel looks half breed anyway and so does that other dude that writes for blackplanet.com. if you ask me blackplanet.com is racist. I’m black man and I’m tired of reading the racist new on blackplanet.com.
Lame
oh yea i forgot to mention… the freecreditreport.com singer has way better lyrics than pasta dude lol. i wouldnt be suprised if him and his band drop an album either.
that commercial is funny. i heard only a few people i know say it was racist, but really? Thats kind of reaching too far. Like someone mentioned earlier anyone can listen to rap. its music. the commercial is just using a music culture for amusement. it would be like a rock star pasta noodle with long hair, bandana and guitar, or country singer with a cowboy hat saying giddy up, or a jamaican raggae singer with long dreads and goatee. yes majority of rappers are black but like someone said rap is looked at as a music genre that anyone can listen to or sing. we see more and more white, latin and asian rappers getting into hip hop. stop reaching and enjoy the culture.
It’s a commercial!!!Dah!
What is racist in this commercial? Is it best he rapping instead of screaming or singing? why do we only assume that because it has rap in it,it’s for blacks. that seems more racist then anything else. Whites can listen to any type of music but black only listen to hip-hop or if there of a certain age jazz or blues.
lol, that was kinda funny. but some company already made a commercial like that a while ago where some cartoon or something came to life and the family freaked out cuz its not normal or whatever. yall gotta relax about the “oh theyre trying to make hip hop look like this or that” its just a commercial.
That pasta commercial was funny but also kinda suspect.
I actually liked the commercial… lol!
LMAO!!!…Pasta Playa Hata!!!…wwwooowww!!!…Whats next?!
this s**t is funny
they try to make rap look so bad but they kids like that heavy metal s**t with bitin bats heads off.. they dont expose that and they wont..i dont think saggy pants look worse than what those rockers wear like “kiss” or “gwar” or marilyn manson (makeup, peircings,tight clothes, etc.).. the truth is its jus a plot to make aa-men look bad and stupid.
folks are trippin this commercial is funny as hell! the momma ran out the kitchen and came back with a skillet and knocked dude sideways…which is what any normal person would do if a piece of spaghetti started jukin on their dinner table. the shyt is funny
Man im sicc of people always talkin shyt about rap and hip hop, but corporate america always uses it to sell their products….r u serious? burger king, custom sounds, dominos…..get real corporate fux. im offended by this as an artist
ALL I GOTTA SAY IS WOOOOWWWWWW
i just dont know now-a-days!
If it was talking pasta in my house i would slap it too
ok so maybe we going to far i didnt see anything bad about this . yea the writer needs to be fired
