Racist dog food commercial.

I just watched this ad for Cesar dog food and I must say I am appalled.

It shows various large dogs in "hilarious" attempts to do things that small dogs usually do, like sitting on a girl's lap, getting in a bicycle basket, hopping into a handbag and so on.

Like that unattractive girl at your work who wears too-tight, unflattering t-shirts that say "goddess" and "sexy", big dogs just don't get it.

The "punchline" of this propagandist tripe is "not every dog wants to be a Cesar's dog".

Oh really, Cesar? What, your food is too good for big dogs? Big dogs aren't fancy enough for you? I'm sure there are plenty of big dogs out there who would just love to be fancy and eat out of your little gold foil packets. But noooooo, you have to practice doggy apartheid and remind those more generously-proportioned pups that they're not allowed to enjoy your precious Steak Florentine. "Stick to your Generic Chunks in Goo!" you cry heartlessly to our big-boned canine chums.

Racist.

Disclaimer:
Of course I don't equate jokey little-dog snobbery with something as serious and hateful as racism. And the commercial is freaking adorable. It's just that I think one's size shouldn't get in the way of one's ability to be fancy. Am I right ladies?
