Coke Super Bowl 2013 Ad Called Racist

The Coke Ad is the second Super Bowl 2013 ad that is called racist. We reported that the Volkswagen Super Bowl 2013 Ad is seen by some as depicting a stereotype of Jamaicans. Now Reuters reports that an Arab-American group says that depicting an Arab walking through the desert with a camel is racist. Additionally the Arabs are not in the race between the Badlanders, Show Girls and Cowboys. I am not sure if I want to be in such a race. You can always find something offending in Super Bowl ads. In the end a controversy like this is just helping the ads to get more attention.
