The message of this clip is that a young Asian girl riding a bike through a rice paddy can threaten the economy of the US and take your job away. That's pretty fuckin pathetic for Americans.



Ummm no thats not the message. The message is that her economy is better than America's because we keep borrowing money and the guy that wants you to vote for him will try to make our economy better than hers again by not borrowing more money from china.



If that's his message, it proves that he's a fucktard and doesn't know how the American economy actually works.

He just can't win with this one!

It's like the Rick Perry brokeback mountain ad.

I thought the commercial was hysterical in more ways than one.



I believe we may be on the same page. The commercial was both absurdly stupid as well as pretty damned funny. It was funny mostly because it was so damned stupid.

There are at least two attempts at humor in this ad. Only one is racial.


The first attempt at humor is the suggestion that this democrat is some kind of hero among the chinese. That's not racist.


The other attempt at humor is a big smiling chinese girl in city clothes riding a bike through a rice paddy speaking with a bad accent. These are obvious racial stereotypes that are at best unfunny and at worst blatantly racist.

It was damned stupid and clumsy, and yes, that made it funny to me.

If it was a contest to see how many ignorant stereotypes you can put into one commercial, he's succeeding.
