Using The Strong Black Body To Sell Products



I LOVE when I see companies that try to merge their product’s image with that of a strong black physique. Gatorade and athletic apparel companies are famous for this, but at least with them one can make the connection between athletics and sexy athletes.. Other products use the sexy black man to sell their products but never exactly explain the connection.. but I love to see them anyway.  Used to be a time when companies would use a sexy woman to say.. “buy our product and get a woman like this” now, it seems companies are saying “buy our product because its like this black man.. strong, sexy and tough!”

One that I can think of right away, is the new commercial for The Acura TL..













Can you think of a non-sports related commercial where a "brotha's" body seems to be a selling point? Please hit "comment" and LET US KNOW!

MUSIC- "Somewhere With You"

I love ALL kinds of music.. A good song is a good song.  Here's a Country Music song that i'm digging right now.. It's called "Somewhere With You" sung by Kenny Chesney, written by JTX (son of radio host, Jay Thomas).. Check it out.. Tell me what you think



"Somewhere With You" Lyrics

If you're going out with someone new
I'm going out with someone too
I won't feel sorry for me, I'm getting drunk
But I'd much rather be somewhere with you

Laughing loud on a carnival ride, yeah
Driving around on a Saturday night
You made fun of me for singing my song
Got a hotel room just to turn you on

You said pick me up at three a.m.
You're fighting with your mom again
And I'd go, I'd go, I'd go somewhere with you

I won't sit outside your house
And wait for the lights to go out
Call up an ex to rescue me, climb in their bed
When I'd much rather sleep somewhere with you

Like we did on the beach last summer
When the rain came down and we took cover
Down in your car, out by the pier
You laid me down, whispered in my ear

I hate my life, hold on to me
Ah, if you ever decide to leave
Then I'll go, I'll go, I'll go

I can go out every night of the week
Can go home with anybody I meet
But it's just a temporary high 'cause when I close my eyes
I'm somewhere with you, somewhere with you

If you see me out on the town
And it looks like I'm burning it down
You won't ask and I won't say
But in my heart I'm always somewhere with you

Laughing loud on a carnival ride, yeah
Driving around on a Saturday night
You made fun of me for singing my song
Got a hotel room just to turn you on

You said pick me up at three a.m.
You're fighting with your mom again
And I'd go, I'd go, I'd go

I can go out every night of the week
Can go home with anybody I meet
But it's just a temporary high 'cause when I close my eyes
I'm somewhere with you, somewhere with you

Somewhere with you
I'm somewhere with you
I'm somewhere with you
Somewhere with you
Somewhere with you
