    This is the shortened version:

    This is the extended version:

    Dr. Dre apparently didn't remember that people in Seattle buy headphones, too.

    The "Beats by Dre" line of headphones added 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick as an endorser. Finding an athlete to endorse the high-end headphones can't be tough, considering they seem to be a part of every league's dress code at this point.

    Kaepernick's ad shows him on the team bus headed to a stadium, obviously supposed to be in Seattle. The ad shows the Seattle skyline and the fans are wearing Seahawks colors, so it's not hard to figure out. And the fans scream at him, throw things at the bus, and seem to be ready to assault him when he walks off. There's a few middle fingers thrown his way in the extended version, which you can check out here. Kaepernick puts on his headphones and totally drowns out the unruly mob.

    The commercial is obviously way over the top, but you can see why Seattle fans would be mad at Dr. Dre, who was once one of the top names in hip hop before becoming a headphones mogul.


    Sales in Seattle might not do so well after this.

    Congrats, Beats by Dre, that commercial just alienated the #12thMan. Also, clearly wasn't actually filmed in Seattle! #GoHawks

    OK Dre will be hearing from me the next time I go to his suite for a Laker game! Offensive commercial about Seattle fans. — Josie Baik (@JosieBaik) December 8, 2013
    Everyone in Seattle needs to boycott beats by dre because of that Colin Kaepernick commercial #GoHawks

    The only way to turn around the "Beats by Dre" boycott in Seattle? Maybe get a new celebrity endorser. We might be able to come up with a volunteer ..

    Once again, people will be mad for 20 minutes and then forget about what they're mad about.

    Waah. Seahawks fans are bipolar bitches, much like half the Blazers board. It's a commercial - get over it.

    I doubt many Seahawks fans are irate over this. A small minority are making a fuss about it.

    I just hope we play the Niners in the playoffs so we can blast Kaepernick again!

    Pretty much, not very endearing to flaunt how indifferent you are to the world around you

    The commercial really should be "would they all hate me if I were white?"

    I await a Seattle entrepreneur to create an ironic, hipster pair of headphones.

    Living in Seattle, the only things I've heard anyone say (and I've heard #2 a couple times) are (1) the fan stuff is obviously ridiculously over the top and (2) no one in Seattle uses umbrellas.

    You can't blame Seahawks fans for being crazy about the team. It's kinda like Portland, only having one sports team in town. We already love our lone team, but when they're good, everybody gets sucked into it. And it gets mad crazy.

    (I see baseball is returning to Seattle in 2014, but it's so long since they've had a team, it might take people a while to get into it.)
