So, not only is Michael Bay a racist hack, but he's also completely ignorant of the industry in which he works.

Yes, he really thinks he made Nick Cage and Ben Affleck stars. Or that Will Smith wouldn't be big if it weren't for him.

1) Nick Cage = Nick Coppola; He was famous before he even decided to act.
2) I'm really tempted to build a giant robot and place it on Michael Bay's lawn just for making the Transformers movies, neither which I've seen nor will I, and sit outside his property filming the moment that he shits himself when he realizes what happened; I think it would be hilarious and far more entertaining than 90% of his films.

Unfortunately, this proves he'd be unfazed.

WOW.

Ben Affleck I might give him - yeah, Affleck was in Good Will Hunting and Chasing Amy first, but Armageddon was probably his pole-vault to face.

Will Smith, though... nobody would have watched Bad Boys if Will Smith hadn't already been The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air for five years. Yes, it was his first big movie part... but given his talent, ANY big movie part would have been a breakout role.

And the Nic Cage thing, that's just silly.

Michael Bay is trying to compete with Uwe Boll. Okay, Bay makes much better movies (well, he works with better scripts and has higher production values)... but seriously... any director who tries to take credit for actor's success is a dick, period.

Who is Michael Bay? Sorry for my ignorance, but I really have never heard of him before this...

That ad is AWESOME.

You lucky, lucky individual.

I will give him "putting Ben Affleck in a huge blockbuster movie and making him a household name." Beyond that? No. Just...no.
