Just waiting to see how many will play the race card and try to make it more than what it was. ...And I sincerly hope that it was was a unfortunate coincidence.
Yeah, I'm American-American and it didn't phase me either. I mean, why should anybody be offended by a cute commercial with a monkey doing gymnastics just because it followed the piece on Douglas winning gold. The people offended reflect their own insecurities. As has been noted, that particular ad was going to run in that time slot no matter who won. It's only offensive if for some reason you actually associate African Americans with monkeys, in which case you have your own set of issues that you need to deal with.
