When they can show trash like this, something is very very wrong.
...or when they feel the need to show things like that.

Will you people stop posting YouTube videos with no explanation? I can't watch YouTube at work. 
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
Same here, Please explain.
A furniture warehouse commercial that celebrates its appeal to people both black and white.

GENIUS!
EVERYONE who sees that horrible, horrible ad will know of The Red House, and that you can get furniture there.
10 years down the track.... "Damn, the dog just wrecked the couch and Aunt Mabel is due to visit tomorrow! We just need a couch, quick.
Mind: Well you could go straight to the nearest The Red House! They have couches."
I should shop there. My current sofa is only good for a white person.
It's yet another stupid local furniture store commercial, this one about how both white and black people can shop there, with terrible acting and all.

I was expecting this
when the black guy jumped on the couch.

Maybe you could explain The Red House to the none septics. I'm confused.
Sorry. It's a commercial for a place called "The Red House", a furniture store in High Point, NC.
Basically, throughout the entire commercial, they're showing anti-racist scenes and whatnot. A black guy shaking hands with a white woman, at which point the camera zooms in on their hands touching. The black guy introducing himself, saying that he enjoys "Pumping iron and pumping furniture into peoples' homes". A white guy introducing himself (no joke), "Hi, I'm Johnny. AKA 10-Gauge".
Then it alternates between black people and white people who "Enjoy the Red House". At the end of the Video, they show different types of furniture that's perfect for a white person... or a black person. And vice versa.
Then they toss in, as a little aside at the end, "This place is perfect for white people AND black people. And hispanic people!"

Eddie Murphy can afford a new couch.
Do you think some day they will make furniture for Asian people? I may be white but occasionally I have Asian people over and I want to make them feel comfortable.

For the people who can't watch the video, the REALLY important bit is how utterly, utterly stilted the entire ad is. It's so stilted that each owner, and "customer" and piece of furniture, and the warehouse itself almost cracks, crumbles and falls into pieces before your eyes. I haven't seen a commercial that determinedly cringeworthy in decade.
The jingle that occasionally plays is kinda soothing in a hokey way, tho.

Yeah, just get a papasan chair and make a big point of telling them, "You take the BAMBOO chair, you'll be more comfortable in the BAMBOO chair."

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We love to extend credit to all people."
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together in a comfortable furnished apartment, with low discount prices from The Red House.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will not have cheap pleather seating that the peoples legs will stick to.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their dinner table, but by the content of their living room furnishings.
I have a dream today.
