Asian American Commercial Watch: Radio Shack

Radio Shack just launched this inexplicable commercial titled “Sensei” promoting the fact that they carry cell phones from three different wireless carriers: AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint. All the elements of an annoying commercial for Asian Americans – a stereotypical screaming kung fu master. I’m trying to figure out which commercial is more annoying – this one or this Six Flags commercial… Actually, no, I think this KFC commercial annoys me the most. At least when Palm launched the Pre, Palm demonstrated that you could command an army of Asian dancersthat would make me buy a phone.
