Video: The sadly obligatory “Brady’s wife consoles him after a crushing defeat” clip

posted at 10:16 pm on February 6, 2012 by Allahpundit

I feel duty bound to post it, partly because you guys are pushing 300 comments in the earlier thread and partly because it bugs me that people were attacking her for, of all things, asking friends to pray for Brady on his big day. (“Disgustingly sappy,” sniffed the Post.) My assumption about her before this week was that she probably barely knew what football was — couldn’t be bothered to follow it, didn’t care what happened to Brady’s team, knew that he was a big star and that that’s all that matters. I.e. stereotypical aloof model. Turns out she cares enough that she’s e-mailing friends to send him good vibes, went to the game to cheer him on, defended him when some drunk started taunting her about him losing to the Giants again, and then rushed to give him this little pep talk after he finally emerged from his catatonic state after the game. That’s … kind of nice, right? Nicer than you’d expect, at least? I know we’re supposed to hate them both to pieces for being amazing-looking and fantastically rich and successful, but even as a Jets fan I can’t quite muster the loathing. Second look at amazing-looking, fantastically rich and successful people?

It’s an outrageously, outrageous outrage! /

I don’t know if anyone else pointed out the historically interlaced vibe of VWs to the drug scene of the 60s, and the ganja ding of the Jamaaican man.

That aside, people are too hung up on being insulted.

“Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.” – Theodore Dalrymple

This PC crap is the result of too many Sociology degrees and not enough real jobs.

Maybe someone already pointed this out but has anyone noticed that the three quoted offendees are female? Why are women so damned uptight?

If I made a list of the 500 most offensive or insulting ads on TV today, this would not be among them. It wouldn’t make me buy a VW, but it wouldn’t make me wish never to buy one, either. A great many TV ads are so stupid and intelligence-insulting that I simply decide their product is not one I could agree to support.
