Murphy Bed promotional song may be the most racist thing I've seen in a long time

The asian lady was the first thing the I saw. I don't know how she didn't just walk out the room or slap the mic out of her hand.

Yes!! You can see she's getting triggered in every way. I can't finish this video, it's too racist and full of cringe!
 
Is it too much to ask if you're going to make a song like this that's offensive, that it's actually good? Because now my eardrums are offended.

Haha yeah, this is a good point. You need to have something excellent if you're going to play the high stakes game of racist humor.

This is truly amazing.. How were these people raised that they ever thought this would be an acceptable thing to do? I burst out laughing at the chorus, oh man... this is both racist and mad ignorant, ninjas aren't even chinese.

Holy shit, everyone but the Asian lady claps in the end LOLOLOLOLOL.

The camera-work was borderline 'The Office'!

What if the Asian woman slept with the woman'/s husband? And she's like: DO SOMETHING!

It's the only thing that makes sense.

Oh my god this is fucking hilarious. How do you lack the self awareness to realize this is not cool. I love how there's a good 4ft barrier around the only Asian woman there.

My brain couldn't really process this video. Jen has a new song? But Jen sells beds. She reveals her new song at some kind of media party complete with a tiny photo wall. What? Now she's singing to a small group her bizarre shit about ninjas. She sells beds. Someone help.

Are all of those people paid actors? There's no way any of them thought this was a good idea.

More than likely her husband (I'm assuming the guy with the white hair that she hugs at the end of the video) sells beds. This seems very Amy's Bake Shop to me.

"we have a new product line launching soon"
"great, I can promote it with a song I wrote."
"... *looks at her boobs* ... okay..."
 
You know what's even weirder? This isn't live audio so she's gone into a studio to record this piece of trash, as well as performing it.

Had to be. It was set up like a (very very shitty low budget) music video, complete with lip syncing and a dubbed track. The whole thing is very bizarre.

I find it almost impossible that anybody thought this was a good idea, and that nobody told her she's fucking nuts. I'm hoping this was a blatant attempt to be "shocking" to get attention.
 
I mean, Mickey Rooney impression aside, is this a thing that people do? Live promotional performances about things like murphy beds? And people actually take time out of whatever's on their plate to attend this? There is so much I don't know...
 
Chop chop take chow down to china town! Hilariously awful

The way she looks at the asian lady EVERY single time with that line. I feel so bad for her, it sucks to be the token.
