If I wasn't mistaken, our boy Selassie just did a VW commercial! :sly:

LOL

Obviously I really enjoyed that one.

Several people watching the game at our house were saying they should have used me in that one. I can turn on a thick Bahamian accent when we're over there but I can turn it off again ... reluctantly.

Hearing that Jamaician accent always makes me smile.

That was pretty freaking hilarious. Probably one of the better ones.

And yes, Selassie could totally have done this commercial as well.

It's hideous that people have labeled this commercial racist. It's racist to have a positive outlook and be upbeat?

Yikes.....

Opportunism at its finest.
I was thinking the same thing earlier, but I didn't even wanna post the stories about it.
It's just flat out stupid.

Yeah, that's just a jerk move to label this commercial as anything bad. It's a freaking positive commercial, for fate's sake! How many commercials as a whole make you want to smile nowadays?

WTF??? How? Ah hell... never mind. I suppose there is always an angle. Yeah - better I don't know. I can't imagine and that I suppose is good. And I thought political correctness reached levels beyond ridiculous 20 years ago.

I just had my son watch it and then asked him if HE saw or heard anything that struck him as racist. He just said, "huh?" To which I replied, "Exactly."

So why is it not racist to look for things to be racist? It is - right?

Man... too funny. I can't hear that song without thinking about the last time I saw Susan Dey. Let's just say it wasn't a good memory to keep.

You can skip ahead to about 3:20 if you already "know" Jr Gong.
