Thank you deborah. I now understand race relations in the USA.

Dude. I'm SO going there to get all my furniture. It's only 1.5 hours from me!

From the ad agency's commentary:

The racial reconciliation concept was a joint effort between the Red House staff and us. They pointed out the fact that their employees and customer base were like the "Rainbow Coalition", and we thought something with a comical racial reconciliation theme would be fun, as well as a conversation starter.

I think the reason I like this ad so much is that I did a class yesterday witha group of high-schoolers about stereotypes and discrimination, so the topic was already on my mind.

Ha. Thought those accents sounded familiar.

Stewriffic, the topic is on my mind a lot (Johnston co. I think I could write a book).
