I just want to weigh in on the VW Superbowl commercial. A lot of people are worried if it's racist. I say stop being so effing politically correct. The ad is fantastic. It actually makes me feel what the message is. Happy.
The unwritten law about racism is that the group that were doing the oppressing can't make fun of the group that were oppressed, and by extension the oppressment (New word) can't be made fun of. This means:
Okay.
So you can see the fundamental difference, right? What? It's that one ad has a black guy making a joke and the other has a white dude making one. Right. It's all just jokes!
Everyone needs to get some perspective. It's funny. And don't forget Jamaica was a British colony. There's plenty of white dudes walking around with those cool accents.
Turn di frown di other way around.
