"Our customers are jerks."

The message of this and other Doritos commercials seems to be, "Our customers are low-brow idiots and this is how to reach them." This commercial is offensive on all kinds of levels. Not offensive but curious is why one of the men is so short. Is there a hidden message there? Anyway, the offenses. It's amusing to commit vandalism, ergo breaking the vending machine is hilarious. It's amusing to hit somebody in the crotch, since life-long injuries from such tomfoolery never occur. It's amusing to think that somebody who wants a promotion will never get it. At least all these things are amusing to sophomoric morons. These commercials are for Doritos, a product that is used by the whole family. Yet their commercials seem to be more suited to an off-brand, low-priced beer. Who are the advertising agency goons who come up with this stuff and who are the idiots at Doritos that approve it?

Note: When will we get over the idea that hitting a man in the crotch (a standard on home video shows) is comical. If you're a man, you know it's painful, debilitating and, in my cases, causes nausea, if not permanent damage. Imagine if you used the same
"comic" bit with a woman. Would anyone find that funny?
