Bacardi use mild racism in Metro Newspaper cover ad

P261

This ad for Bacardi is intended to rouse us to spend time with friends over the weekend, having some fun, sharing funny tales etc etc. So why end it with a piece of mild racism? It adds nothing to the ad and is completely misguided. Their 'creative' agency no doubt told them to be 'daring' or even 'edgy'. A nice ad ruined by a daft & un-required ending. Did they have ads today in France poking fun at us Brits? Would that make it any better? Not convinced.
