Chronically Pissed Off Mad At NBC

From the Daily Mail: NBC has become the centre of a race storm after airing an ad featuring a monkey performing gymnastics, right after showing the performance of Gabby Douglas, the first African-American to win Olympic gold.

The network has since apologised for the advert's poor timing, explaining: 'No offense was intended.'

The controversy ignited as sportscaster Bob Costas wrapped his analysis of her incredible routine during the all-around competition last night.

Costas said: 'There are some African American girls out there who tonight are saying to themselves: "Hey, I’d like to try that too." More from London in a moment.'

The broadcast then went to a commercial break, showing an advertisement featuring a monkey wearing a gymnastics uniform and performing a rings gymnastics event. 

The unintentional, but poorly-timed ad was for Animal Practice, an upcoming NBC sitcom.

99.5% who saw this didn't even think about race and a monkey.  Most people are beyond that, in fact, most people in the U.S.were saying that it was great that an American won the event.

But by the time the commercial was supposed to air on the U.S.'s west coast, they changed the commercial to a.....President Obama campaign commercial.  Now, that is revolting and embarrassing.
