Default Help me find a certain ad

Ok, so I need to write a paper about an offensive ad that I have seen on tv or a billboard etc. I decide to look on the internet and see what I can find and stumble upon this ESPN ad which I think is pretty funny.



I don't find this ad offensive, BUT, while reading someone's blog talking about this ad, they mention another ESPN ad which they find to be more offensive. Personally, I don't get offended easily, so I am not offended, but I think that this second ad which they speak of can make for good material and would be easy to write about so I think I will use that one.
HOWEVER, the problem is, I need to hand in a printed copy of this ad and for the last hour I have been searching and just can't seem to find this mofo anywhere. I was about to give up and move on to some other garbage ad, but then I thought...let's get to a new low and ask BBV4L to find it for me. In return, I offer you good Karma.

The slogan for the ad in question is, "Without sports, who would we follow?" and it shows two black women in the basketball changing room. Again, I think the people who did find it offensive took it's contents out of line but I figured I'd do the same as it provides for some easy writting.

I know the people here are much better with searching the internet so Godspeed.
Thank you.

I guess the second one could imply that young black girls would have no older black woman to look up to, because apart from sports, they have not accomplished much.

I DO NOT AGREE...that's what someone was saying and I figured meh, let's do that.

And I am offering incentive, good karma.
