State Farm Commercial

African-American man and woman standing in front of an SUV that has been backed up all the way on top of a different car.

The woman is really bitching at the guy - he didn't listen to her when she was giving him advice on how to back up. She says she'd rather have a different boyfriend, and suddenly his shirt is ripped off revealing a nicely muscled body.

Then, he says he'd rather have a different girlfriend, and all of a sudden her clothing switches to that of a slut - tank top revealing breasts, very high skirt etc.

And I just found this commercial offensive. Whatever happened to touting how good the insurance is? Why focus on the sexual element? Now of course it was nice to finally see a little eye candy for the ladies, but having a guy with a bare chest is not the equivalent of having a woman dressed like a slut. She wasn't dressed 'sexily' - she was dressed like a slut.

Shame on State Farm.
