People Calling NBC Racist For Monkey Commercial Right After Gabby Douglas Segment
Daily Mail - NBC has become the center of a race storm after airing an ad featuring a monkey performing gymnastics, right after showing the performance of Gabby Douglas, the first African-American to win Olympic gold. The network has since apologized for the advert’s poor timing, explaining: ‘No offense was intended.’ The controversy ignited as sportscaster Bob Costas wrapped his analysis of her incredible routine during the all-around competition. Costas said: ‘There are some African American girls out there who tonight are saying to themselves: “Hey, I’d like to try that too.” More from London in a moment.’ The broadcast then went to a commercial break, showing an advertisement featuring a monkey wearing a gymnastics uniform and performing a rings gymnastics event. The unintentional, but poorly-timed ad was for Animal Practice, an upcoming NBC sitcom.
Everyone’s gonna call out NBC? Really? Seems common sense would dictate the racists are the ones who were reminded of a black girl by a monkey. Every idiot making a big stink about this primate dominating the rings after Gabby’s gold just brought a harmless coincidence to the attention of a million idiots like me. Juvenile morons who get a kick out of farts, big tits and stereotypical racist humor. Before, I was oblivious. Now, I get to bust my buddy Jamil’s chops and say, “Hey, you guys got quite the representation in gymnastics, you gotta be proud.” “Yeah Gabby’s the shit.” “Nah, I meant the monkey on the rings bro hahahaha!” You wanna call me and NBC inconsiderate assholes for it, that’s cool, I’m not gonna argue…but you guys are the ones who brought up this monkey business in the first place. Pot, meet kettle.
P.S. – I’ll give you one guess who “you guys” are:

Black people gotta be like, “Yeah…thanks for the help but no thanks.”

ummm, what race?
Yeah. Pretty not racist.
Not racist.
However, if the commercial aired after a segment on USA basketball and it showed a monkey wearing a USA Basketball #10 uni running wild around the the Olympic village trying to ass rape female hotel employees, then yeah, that shit would be really fucking racist.
as a black guy the whole monkey thing never bothered me. google what a hairless chimp looks like and try telling me that it doesnt look like a white dude.
Spot on Rexneffect- you deserve a medal.
Btw- where is the blog on the stupid white fuck that killed all those innocents at the temple?? Ah i get it- barstool doesn’t have a write-up on that because 99% of the people that read this site are tool bag, small dicked white cock-sucking racists. Go fuck yourselves white stoolies.
funny he was some shitty ex-soldier with a 9-11 tattoo who definitely thought he was killing muslims, not sikhs
Awwwshiiiiieeetttt, race war in the Barstool comment section!
They aired a Tide for COLORS commercial, too…awful
The timing was hilariously wrong, but hilarious nonetheless. I seen more Animal Practice commercials during the Olympics that this shit was bound to happen.
Also, aren’t advertisements are normally scheduled days before they air? There was no way NBC could have known Gabby Douglas would have won the gold and that SHE would be the one Costas would be talking about leading into that particular commercial break. People need to get a life. Like me, the guy who commented on the same Barstool blog twice.
Oh shit I thought that was gabby on the rings
They should have had the monkey swimming. That would have cleared up any confusion.
martian skinheads are gonna skinhead
I don’t know, it seems to me that the only people that would see this as racism is people who have racist thoughts.
ll the tweets are from JEWS
[...] Just kills some time by locking yourself in your room and reading a nice book. Ridiculous. And let us not forget this timely segue, NBC. You nailed [...]
these ppl realize that even if the chick lost that same commercial would have been shown
