Jake, from Statefarm is now black

I don't care as most commercials are garbage. Why watch TV anyway as the shows, sports and news on it only ever get worse? Let these companies that are spending obscene amounts on NY ad companies lose money as we give business to companies that don't advertise or that supported Trump.

I’ve been saying this for years...it’s an addiction. People are as addicted to TV entertainment as they could be to alcohol, drugs, food, etc.

And if they compare the writing of tv and movies now to that of just ten years ago, film was WAAAAAY better, even with the tech advances. They have an agenda.

The guy was actually a state farm employee so when he got so popular they wanted to continue “jake” persona with an actual actor, but instead of setting up the new black actor as someone new in that ad universe or just finding anyone who looked remotely like jake they just remade the original commercial all over again and went from there. Actor ain’t bad, but it was a scummy and clearly woke path they took to bring him in.

They could have given him a different name/ persona instead of just blackwashing the original

Plus, in one the 'new' Jake adds he says, "There's no replacing the real Chris Paul." Um, hello? You just replaced the real Jake from State Farm. It makes no logical sense.

That's not how they do things though. They HAVE to rewrite it.
