One of the Most Tasteless and Racist Video Commercial

This is video is probably one of the most racist commercials I have seen on YouTube which made me think if people who would see this video be lured to purchase the promoted product. (Probably they would even boycott this because of the racism presented in the commercial.)

This video started when a man introduced himself to be Gary and told the audience that he was selling a discounted mattress.  While he tried to be funny by posing to be Asian, Jewish, Muslim, American Indian, and Italian, he fell short from becoming genuinely funny because he used prejudice and stereotyping in making his every representation.  For example, he wore a traditional Muslim attire and put on a fake moustache and promoted the product while there is a message below which stated, “terrorist Gary says.”  He also represented Italians by posing himself as a Mafia which made me think how tasteless this commercial was.
