A new commercial has been created for the “haters” that were outraged by the Cheerios commercial titled “Just Checking”, which featured an interracial couple and their biracial daughter.

In May, the EURweb reported on the biracial Cheerios commercial that caused such an uproar among the nation’s racists that General Mills had to remove the comments section on the YouTube video.

Well, the ignorant losers that thought that this endearing commercial was vile and disturbing because a black man had fathered an absolutely beautiful daughter with a white woman, are in for a treat.  There has been a commercial created to replace the original commercial that caused the outrage.

Porn star Mr. Marcus goes to jail for 30 days for not disclosing to film producers that he had Syphyilis last year.

It would seem that the porn industry would be riddled with STD’s, but they are serious about precautions.  One case showed just how serious they are about those precautions.

Well known porn star Mr. Marcus, 42, whose real name is Jesse Spencer, has been sentenced to 30 days in prison for falsifying documents that proved he had syphilis last year.  Apparently, these papers are required to show your overall health status before working on any films.  But Spencer contends that he received a shot of penicillin from his doctor and he was told that he was not “contagious” even though he was diagnosed again for the disease eight days later.   (more…)

Writer for NewsOne, Kirsten West Savali exposed racist ad for Uni-ball called "Bust You Out"

Writer for NewsOne, Kirsten West Savali exposed racist ad for Uni-ball called “Bust You Out” and company has agreed to drop the ad and apologizes.
