Just to stir up some controversy:

Upon release, a storm of controversy surrounded ‘that’ Sprite commercial. It garnered so much attention that Joseph Alexiou from the New York Press (NYP) dubbed it “The Cumshot Heard Around the World!” The NYP also conducted an exclusive interview with one of the ‘stars’ of the commercial: John Jones IV, the 23 year old aspiring musician, whose ‘cumshot’ is now world famous. Jones describes the commercial as in-your-face and meant to catch the attention of executives for exposure and possible employment. Jones goes on to sum up the controversy neatly:
The controversy is it’s the fact that she’s a white girl blowing me and I’m black. That role reversal freaks people out.
It seems that even in a time when America is being led by an African American, we cannot escape the racist mentality of mainstream society.
Although created by amateurs, it seemed so ‘real’, that for the first couple of days after it’s release, many people believed that it was a genuine Coca-Cola advertisement. Suffice to say, it was not.
Amateur productions such as this generate attention on massive scales and can propel ‘average joes’ to superstars. The key thing is shock value. The further it is from mainstream ideologies and the more deviant it is, the larger the attention generated. People are always looking out for the new celebrity. That new celebrity could be you.
