Should African-Americans be upset by the New Marketing Ad Campaign by KIA motors for the "KIA Soul" that features Out-dated Urban hiphop influences and filthy break-dancing rodants?....Hell Yeah we should be mad!!!

No. You are reaching.
LOL
You're being tongue-in-cheek, right?
Seriously, you're not gonna walk into Al Sharpton's office saying "those hamsters are break-dancing to a Black Sheep song, ya heard!!! Fuck is up wit dat?"

Tell me you're joking.
If it's "outdated", it's probably in style now. I totally missed the cultural transition into the 90's-retro-worship trend.

By "ban", I assume you mean "boycott." Which I wouldn't do. I like Kia -- they make purdy cars.
It's a commerical. And a cute one, too.

Now you're just tilting at windmills.
I would still get a scion if I wanted an itty bitty van.
I understand where you're coming from... I was upset at first too. But when I thought about it again, I had to laugh. Black folks are some of the most sensitive people in this country when it comes to issues such as this--- and sometimes for damn good reason. But I'm a firm believer in picking and choosing one's battles. And I think I'll let this one blow over.
p.s.~ i'd rather have a Nissan Leaf. I'm eco-friendly.
No. It's cute and impressive from an animation standpoint.

Okay, any time someone raps in a commercial. ...we sue.
