AT&T ad isn't 'funny'.

OK, my first diary.  

But did I expect during KO to see ATT air an 'ad' showing fat, ie, normal, straight 'men' singing
Show Tunes as humor?  

I called ATT, and asked, would you air Aunt Jemima or nappy headed salt and peppers,

or jews in a bank handing out $$  with a scorning eye????

The Rep said he was 'offended' by my comment.  I said that is my point.

These 'ads' promote hate and violence, especially in areas where there is little support for other ideas.

I don't pay AT&T to propagate it.

And it isn't 'funny'.
