Hello! Just had a fresh idea in my head & wanted to hear some thoughts!
Do you think it would be a bad idea to include racist humor in a marketing video? Yeh yeh, sounds like insanity but hear me out, sure people have different styles of humor like Louis CK or Dave Chapelle, but what if we had a funny poke at a certain demographic that would actually feature the person race being targeted?
For example, everyone knows the typical joke about Asians and driving. If you had a simple product, showcasing Asian people in a car driving around and making jokes to each other in a demonstration marketing video (lets just say the product is GPS mounted on the windshield and the said Asian people are struggling to navigate around so the solution to their problem is using the GPS)
Is that social suicide? I feel like a funny video like that would spread like wildfire on Instagram & Youtube, netting tens of millions of views online and a % of front end sales?
Crazy?
