That was the first thing I thought when I saw it so I would assume others did also. I literally just want to know if anyone else has seen it aired on TV. That is all.

What are all of the other reasons that make you think it's racist?

RoRo lay your cards on the table before I start sounding like a racist for what I believe you think this add may be racist.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to rude. I just want to know what makes that racist?

We are talking about watermelons right? Otherwise I'm modifying this post.

Because everyone has been focused on if it is or is not racist instead of if it has been aired, I'm going to assume that the answer is "no". No one has seen it until now.

So is the watermelon the main focus?

It's my main focus for the purpose of this essay.

I'm sensing more of a potential Gallagher copyright infringement happening here than anything racist.

It's my main focus for the porpoise of this essay. Well I see where those dots can be connected, but I'd say that in this particular case you would be forcing that connection quite a bit. One thing is that the add probably had to stick to some very "neutral" metaphors. So running the image metaphors of, say, Naked Gun 2 1/2 probably wouldn't fly for TV.

You guyz, there's also a reference to chocolate. That can be linked to African Americans.
So much hate in this commercial.

Neither do I. K-Y is the crappiest lube on the planet, flavoured or otherwise.
