Offensive to both blacks and Elmer Fudd!

I am also offended that someone thought that naming a Yam company Da-Wabbit and having a picture with a dead rabbit in it not only made sense but was a good idea...

It's a vintage ad, and one I don't think we've seen before. Seems okay to me.

I do so feel sorry for any rabbits within five nautical miles from that man. Gad.

o.O

i think this ad illustrates just how far we've come...in ad design AND race relations!

Aside from the obvious wtf and rabbit...whah?

I am impressed with the illustration of the yams. I don't think I'd be able to create a drawing where someone looking over my shoulder would say "those are yams" with any degree of certainty. But in the ad... those ARE yams.
