Call this a hobby of mine; analyzing what a brand is trying to do. Now they've got two new videos, with one featuring Tracy Morgan, and another with Alex Trebek. Check em out! I'm not being paid by Wheat Thins, I'm simply a connoisseur of both advertising and snacking.
Tracy Morgan has, to say the least, had a bad last few months. First, during a stand up routine, he said he would stab his son to death if he was gay. He apologized and appeared on Oprah. Then, during the Sundance Film Festival, he passed out after giving an incoherent acceptance speech. It was blamed on the altitude. Well now, he isn't going save his own mother from foreclosure.
Tracy Morgan should stop talking for a while. On an apology tour that initially seemed admirable, his latest appearance segued into another regrettable soundbyte making jokes at the expense of what he calls 'retarded kids' and a girl he describes as 'a cripple.'
Friends and colleagues of Tracy Morgan are speaking out about the homophobic remarks Morgan made at a Nashville comedy show. Among them, two of his fellow SNL alums: '30 Rock' creator and co-star Tina Fey, and Chris Rock, who initially supported him, but has since changed his tune.
