I can understand Derek Jeter doing this ad because I have low expectations for all pro athletes, but Spike Lee? I was pretty surprised. He filmed Do the Right Thing on a Bed Stuy street. The only real bad guys in that movie are also the people in cars (cops). I guess that was a long time ago. I've seen this ad on Mets broadcasts all month long and it really burns me up.
