Fallon’s Tiny Monsters Represent/Offend “the Majority”

Hey The Ladders, stop with the pretension. Anyway, SuperSpy gave us her thoughts below, but we wanted to run a fancy poll to get some technical figures about how you feel. As always, comments are welcome too. Poll!

Per e-mail: “I have worked in advertising as an account planner for awhile and I understand the communication message they are trying to convey; But as someone who does not rake in 100+K, this spot is truly demeaning and very snobbish.”

“In 2006 the US Census reports that only 5.6 percent of individual income earners made 100+, and I am positive with the current recession that number has not risen much in the past two years. So to run this spot during a very popular national football game with a huge national audience where an overwhelmingly majority does not make 100+K is truly asinine.”
