I'm black when it matters

[Derek]

My ad agency created a quite brilliant commercial for AIDS awareness. You'll see it on MTV in a few months time - people picking up and eating someone else's chewing gum. The gum = AIDS being passed from one person to another.

THEY HAD A BLACK MAN DOING THE VOICE-OVER!

I made it clear that the black voice will be deemed offensive, as millions of people around the world believe the absolute lie that AIDS came from Africa.





They changed the voice.



Shall I ask my boss to make me regional creative director?

The last line about shall I ask my boss to make me regional creative director was a joke.

Well, he sounded black and when I enquired, he was black.
