This petition is calling for Red Bull to REMOVE it's offensive, degrading Smoke Signals advertisement. It is also calling for ESPN to also remove this racist advertisement from it's network. Native American people are not mascots, nor are they to be used in a degrading way to promote Red Bull in any shape or form. The offensive advertisement story line is thus: A simple line drawing animated cartoon shows a teepee either side of a great canyon. As red-indian drums accompany the background music, Brown Bear and White Pigeon communicate their unrequited love across the great divide by means of animated and suggestive smoke signals. The narrator comments "ahh, no Red Bull, no happy ending". We are tired of the disgusting and degrading way the media portrays Native American people. We want this advertisement REMOVED. Please sign to show your support.

The silence from the network is heavy but it is exactly what we expected from them. I am still pushing forward because the damage this advertisement causes remains real regardless of how long it takes to pull it down.
