Been discussed here time and again.  Some have called the company to complain.  The company's response seems to be "FOAD".

they're all white guys who get scared by an alarm backed up by an officer response time with which they could rape, pillage, murder, and escape?

I love the fact that the guy breaks in,  alarm goes off,  he runs away and then they say they are sending help.
 For what at that point, to help fix the door?

i like the one, where the girl is left home alone while the parents go out, and someone tries breaking in, and he runs off after the alarm goes off, the girl runs to the bedroom to answer the phone and she says someone tried to break in and she's home alone.



the brinks guy says "i'm going to go ahead and call your parents"



yah okay dont call the cops or anything.

Also, if that alarm goes off, and the phone rings. I'm more likely to try and figure out why the alarm went off, rather then pick up the phone.

Now you know if they used a black person, that every black organization would be protesting. You would have Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, the Black Panthers etc, all bitching that it was perpetuating the stereotyping of blacks.

The "crooks" look like they should be wearing Zorro masks and black and white striped uniforms with broken shackles on their ankles.

As mentioned, the scenarios are are so unlikely as to be laughable, but what's unfortunate is that you know this advertising is effective on some.

This is not the only commercial like that by a long shot.  Heck, most of the commercials that employ mixed race actors almost always portray the white actors as those somehow dumb or lacking or whatever.  I've been pointing this out to friends for years now.  But it's good to see some people getting fed up with this too.   Stereotypical portrayals are wrong even if it's whitey getting the short end, advertisers need to wake up to that.

What bothers me is that the doofus kicks the door in, comes INTO the house then runs away and the woman gets on the phone and says "Someone just tried to break in!" Dumbass I'd say he WAS in so his try was pretty damned successful don'tcha think? Holy hell you'd be dead by now!

I like the way that they run off as soon as they hear the alarm, even though a good looking woman is standing there screaming.

I like the way the alarm company calls INSTANTLY when it goes off.

No.

I'd love to see a spoof of that ad where some puke breaks in the door, and him and two others come running in the house.

Wifey runs upstairs to their bedroom, which is at the end of the hall. She locks the hall door closest to the goons as she does so.

Then, in about 15 seconds she dons a tactical vest, helmet and grabs an AK or AR, she hears them kicking the door in on the far end of the hall, and quickly opens the bedroom door. When they kick the door open and come running down the  narrow hall, thus having entered the "death zone", she shoots the shit out of them, then as they lay bleeding, walks over and gives them the coup de gras with a pistol in the head.


Then SHE calls the alarm company (since they haven't called her yet) and tells them to tell 911 to send a "HERTZ AND AN AMBULANCE".

There is a scene in the movie "DON'T BE A MENACE TO SOUTH CENTRAL WHILE DRINKING YOUR JUICE IN THE HOOD" in which two of the Wayans brothers are at a convenience store, and the Asian American store clerk is following them all over because she thinks they are going to steal something.

Meanwhile, a well dressed white guy is ripping the place off blind while no one is paying attention to him.

It's kind of hilarious, in a sad sort of way.

That one REALLY pisses me off.  If I was Steve, I'd say "the box says you've got a big, flabby ass and this shit is your last hope before I dump your ugly, mouthy ass, bitch."  Of course Steve is portrayed as a ball-less pussy.

Ever notice on those alarm commercials that the alarm always goes to some sprawling, high-tech, state-of-the-art dispatch center with 50 people in suits all sitting at consoles, and your alarm is displayed on a giant screen on the wall?  Try some dark boiler room in the shitty part of Compton with hood-rats making 7 bucks an hour.  "Hey, bitch, is 'dat alarm goin' off?"  "Fuck 'dat, I'z doin' my nails, 'dem rich fucks can wait".

They know that white people are afraid to complain for fear that they will be called a racist,

Think about what would happen if they used an Arab looking guy wearing a rag on his head. The Arab groups would kill everyone at the alarm company, no wants to piss them off.

You need to watch the outdoor channel Wednesday nights. One of the shows, i think its called the best defense, has shown that senario more or less. Or the ads for the Tarus Judge, 3 guys sneak up on this broad then they show watermellons exploding representing the bad guys heads.

Don't even get me started on this shit. I don't believe in whacko conspiracies, but there is literally a trend over here in television advertising to show every man as a retarded, pussified fool who can't do simple tasks and needs a woman to tie his shoelaces, buy his insurance, pay off his credit card. 3% of doctors might be woman because all the woman are in advertising making these bullshit adverts.
