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.

Are you a “pasta playa-hata”? Share in the comments!

    This commercial is offensive to white MCs everywhere.

    Eminem needs to lead a march on Washington and protest this outrage.

    Oh wait, he’s probably too busy living his life to be offended by fictional characters or to let television commercials define his entire race…

    I’ve seen this stupid commercial before. I was silly then, and silly now. Look at the white folks beating up on the pasta. It is inclined to be a little racial when you think about it.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/chocolate6325/ chocolate6325

    Are you serious? These are the most racist thing that I ever saw. you can’t blame no one but the people who are on the commercial, and the people who makes these commercial know that they would do it. All they have to do is just throw money at them. The people who are writing these commercial are sending us back to the 50′s and the 60′s and they are using commercials to do it. And they wonder why people from other countries believe that American people are stupid.

    Not racist just a dumb ass commercial. And Domino’s probably has to resort to any kinda advertisement after what happened with booger incident.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Ket_Ket/ Ket_Ket

    The BK commercial, the schick commercial, and the Old navy commercial are not racist…but that other stuff was.

    That is some real racist s**t… He’s a “rapping pasta” in a white man’s house. He’s rapping and the parents are scared of it and attack it. Symbolizing a black man in their house and attacking him. I have a question when the pillsbury doughboy is in the house why is he never attacked. I find this commercial very insulting

    First off what is Nazneen Patel still doing writing articles, I thought for sure they would have let her go after her last two. Second how is that racist ? There are a lot of people on here saying that. Stuckey26 said “This is stupid and rascist. They just used a noodle instead of a ni**er” Is that how you refer to black people ? No one is going to say s**t to her because of the color of her skin either. The commercial is a piece of pasta, hip hop is a culture not a race, look at slim shady. There are some real ignorant people on this site who are so paranoid and closed minded that everything is black and white to them and because of that most of them will never amount to anything good.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/YG_on_deck/ YG_on_deck

    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.

    That pasta commercial was funny but also kinda suspect.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Rime/ Rime

    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.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/jocel1980/ jocel1980

    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.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Ragadee29/ Ragadee29

    It’s a commercial!!!Dah!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/BootyfulBabyBoy/ BootyfulBabyBoy

    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.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Rime/ Rime

    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.

    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.

    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!!!

    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.

    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.
