AT&T YOUR THING GARBAGE

I think the real Donathan (and of course that is not his/her/it's real name) paid that young woman on the bus to read that from a script.    Her real name probably isn't really Karen either!  

Your thing, your thang! I have no ill will either, he just puts himself out there so much, I couldn't help it. I think Donna is still using some alias and posting just like he always did.  Most people come off as pretty normal...others don't.  Look who is making accusations lately.

Gonna remember that one!!!

Back in my day, they used to call it being on the rag.

I can only tell you that she (I'll give the benefit of the doubt and assume she is Karen in the video and pic) took the selfie and made the video at my request after a couple of PM exchanges. I hold no ill will towards Donathan. To me, this internet forum business is all about having fun. Some people have fun differently than others.

I also hold no ill will towards Donathan. I just don't believe anything they post. Especially "Karen".

Is Chance the Rapper wearing a fur coat? That's not very PC!

Look closer.  It's a fur hoodie with teddy bear ears.  And claws on the cuffs.  Gotta be a weird story about cosplay going seriously wrong there somewhere...  

(Or maybe the joke is that he's a black bear...   )

While I agree with you here I think his point was how politically correct they are. I don't really get bothered by how many black people there are in a commercials so maybe he is a racist.

What's with the stupid changes in the design of the logo? Are they trying to ripoff the 1980s MTV logo variations?

None of these stupid "ideas" are original!

! SOB there's vocal fry in this one too!

And I agree with initial point that the female anncr is awful!  When it comes on, which is several times a day regardless of what channel I have on unfortunately,I cannot grab the frkg remote fast enough.

I'm already weary of this new It's Your Thing campaign from AT&T.  There are plenty of black and/or African-American voiceover artists who do a great job.  (I'm not including Arby's Ving Rhames in this .)  It's the vocal fry I can't stand, and it's really annoying when a black woman is trying to sound like a Valley Girl.  Or vocal fry is so widespread now everyone's doing it!  

I get a little satisfaction just knowing I'm not the target demographic here.  It ain't my thing!

I hate these commercials. Starting with the person doing the voiceover. Hate her voice. I tried to look up who she is and can’t find it. Sounds like a few people. Mainly Queen La Queefa. Or possibly Mohammad Ali’s daughter. I Hate how she keeps saying your thang over and over.

Just look at the commercials in one you have a hot black girl throws a wimpy white guys things on the street while the black woman with the black dominatrix voice take about moving on to"bigger and better things" imagine the uproar if it was a sexy white girl tossing out the possessions of a wimpy black guy.
In another commercial the same narrator talks about starting your forever thing and life together with you new life as a black man and a white women mine in together. It's about kissing the black ass if there VH1 MTV crowd where anyone who doesn't like them is accused if being racist even thought every mixed couple and every hip hop group always features a black man and a white girl never the other way around but lately for the first time some commercials are actually featuring white guys and black girls. The hip hop generation hates this so that had to throw in the moving on to bigger and better things to reassure the black man that he was Superior.
What it really is about though is that in most crack houses and trap house the addicts and dealers there have blown to there credit with the local cable affiliates so ATT knows that they have to just as to their audience because their service becomes costly after their introductory rate runs out and some will pay and others will have to pay it later if they get their lives together and buet a house and they'll pay the bill they defaulted on when they were smoking crack!!!
It's only racism when it insults black people that's my thank.
