A colleague of mine snapped this billboard image on her way in to work this morning at about Cass & Adams. Some might say a missed target, audience-wise. Others? A little bit of optimism on a grey day like today. You be the judge.

Wow, Quaker has found another way to creep me out (besides their Oatmeal). |

Another white racist telling black people to get out of the city. Wait till Blksoul_x finds out about this. |

I don't like the McDonald's ad on Woodward that says, talking about their coffee, "90210 Taste. 48202 Value." Isn't that a bit condescending toward the residents of Detroit? |

-DtownCityLover --- I thought the EXACT same thing, but that was the first billboard that I saw of those types of ads. It turns out that they are all over the place - even in the suburbs. They just change the last zipcode to the zipcode in which the sign is placed. So, it's not really an insult |

I have never seen another one since except for that one. But, if they are everywhere then OK. |

At first I was like "Huh"?
Then I was like "Grrrr!"... here's yet another pasty wig wearing face oppressing the Black masses....
Now I'm at "Oooohhhh" I get it now.... Oatmeal, fiber, bowels....
Let's just say it's not a good look if there's nobody around to look at the billboard.... |
