As usual, Elliot nails it.
Some folks are claiming that the use of Britney Spears and Paris Hilton in John McCain’s infamous “Celebrity” ad against Barack Obama is actually a thinly-veiled attempt to resurrect whitey’s ancient fear that “black men are stealing our women folk.”
I suppose I might admit they had a point, if the commercial didn’t happen to show the only two chicks I can think of that no self-respecting man of any race – white, black, or Martian – would be interested in sleeping with.
Oops… I was supposed to say, “indeed.”
“....the only two chicks I can think of that no self-respecting man of any race…would be interested in sleeping with.”
Not without Hepatitis immunizations.
Trust me, I never “nailed” either of them.
Shiver.
I thought the McCain ad was funny and made a good point.
How someone can take this as Obama is coming to get your white wife is obviously the work of someone who only sees things as a race issue and nothing else.
I have low hopes for us progressing as a society.
I agree with Owen, this is nothing like the ant-Ford ad in Tennessee last election.
People are trying to create something out of nothing. A little wishful thinking.
