I remember seeing this commercial and kind of forgot about it since, although I do follow your argument. To be honest, I vaguely remember noticing the race problems, but I'm not sure whether or not the sexism caught my eye. I think I was too busy raging over Kia's asinine pile of multi-tiered turd: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHZbXvts0LE

*angry sigh*

WOW I had not seen that one, that is..pretty ridic. (although at the end, I won't lie, I thought it was kinda sweet they had the hubbie go grab his wife instead of being surrounded by the scantily clad ladies. A tiny drop of okay-ness in a giant turd does not a good thing make, though.) Why do I even expect the Super Bowl to have anything but, I do not know.

Oh wait, because sometimes it does have genuinely funny offerings: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y59VUQxX3Dk
A commercial aired during a male-dominated sport, appealing to both males and females, focused around a female-centric product but NOT playing into a ton of the stereotypes therein, and actually funny. Or maybe I'm just silly for laughing at it idk.
