Rejected Ads for the Utah State Fair

The Utah State Fair: Uncommonly Good. Napoleon Dynamite director Jared Hess was commissioned to create commercials for the Utah State Fair, but the ads were pulled from TV because they were too sexual. That’s too bad because these ads convinced me that I want to go the fair! posted on September 25, 2010 at 10:46pm EDT

      Let’s get real, people, these ads were most likely rejected because of the black dude, not because of the underlying sex innuendo.

      I’m not a vegetarian but the pig ad was a little disturbing. Eating it is one thing, singing a love song to, about eating it, before eating it is too much.
