I never thought I'd see a TV ad for a strip club. But I stumbled across one. And it's every bit as tasteless and offensive as you would expect.

That's Not a Taco
While we're on the subject of tacos, here's a commercial disaster from 1979 for Jimboy's Tacos in Sacramento, CA. It would be an easy mark to make fun of the dated clothing and cheesy production values, but I won't do that. For their time, these elements probably weren't too far off the mark for local commercials. In fact, they're better than some (most) of the local commercials I grew up watching in the 80's and 90's.
However...
Watch for the camera pan of the menu items near the end of the spot.
Yep, nothing says authentic Mexican food more than hamburgers, french fries, and sub sandwiches!

No Chubbies
I'm not sure what the "-ist" term is for someone who is insensitive and degrading to overweight people (sizeist?), but this guy goes about 6 miles past that. He also manages to be incredibly sexist at the same time. Quite an accomplishment for someone who's IQ is below 30.
(And full disclosure: I'm a thin male of at least average intelligence.)
As always, I've done my homework to make sure this commercial disaster is real. Sadly, it is. It's an ad that ran in southern California for a gym/weight loss program called "The Anti-Gym" run by (self-proclaimed) fitness guru and (by all other accounts) gigantic prick Michael Karolchyk. Even more disturbing than this cro-magnon's mono-syllabic roid rage is the fact that these actresses (particularly the larger one) allowed themselves to be degraded by this knob. I know they got paid to do it (at least, I hope they did), but come on, have some self respect!
If you visit this douchebag's website (which I seriously discourage), you'll see dozens of video clips where he is called on the carpet for being an idiot. Yet he's posted them on his website like it's something to be proud of. Interestingly, his website also uses an embedded audio player that plays music by Billy Idol, Snoop Dogg, and The Killers. I wonder how they would feel about their music being used (most likely, without license) to hock this asshat's hate speech.
