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?

Stupidity is the end result of liberal thinking.

Oh course it’s racist!
Pffft!
(How could you assume otherwise, MKH? Racist?!)

Anyone with white skin and speaking with a accent…
An accent that is widely known to be spoken by non-white..
Is racist..
It’s Federal Law..

Not anymore than the way American Idol just sneered at Oklahomans as backwards hicks. And this isn’t even broaching the even more controversial Coke ad where they dared portray an Arab next to a camel.
Remember when Superbowl ads were nothing more than creative and fun? Today they seem to be required to make a political statement. I miss the old days.

Electrongod on January 31, 2013 at 9:40 PM
I am offended that the offended have stereotyped a Minnesotan as being incapable of ever having a Jamaican Accent. Their bigotry against midwesterners with an improbable Jamaican upbringing is disgraceful. HISTORY WILL JUDGE THEM TO BE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THIS ISSUE. Fools, all of them!
Wasn’t the purpose of the ad to show Jamaican’s and their accents as thoroughly charming enough to kill off a case of the Mondays?
Better than Jimmy Fallon’s craptastic commercial of a dozen ethnicity impersonations for free cash.
Chubbs65 on January 31, 2013 at 9:40 PM

I’m from Minnesota and I have been known to break into Jamaica-Speak, especially when I’m trying to embarrass my kids in front of their friends: “Sid yourself doon man, have a seat and gi me a smiiile”.
Where were all these hysterics when “Fargo” came out with actors saying “You betcha!” and “Doooon’t ya knoooooow”.
Bishop on January 31, 2013 at 9:40 PM
I hope VW just tells these “critics” to get a life. I am offended that they find this ad so offensive. So there.

RedCrow on January 31, 2013 at 9:44 PM
Yeah but neither does the tourism ads put out by Jamaica. They show happy Caucasian people hiking the interior of the island without the “nuanced richness” that those hikers might be killed if they happen onto the wrong kind of agriculture on their trek out of the carefully controlled world of all-inclusive resorts along the coast.

You call that an accent? You should hear me. Even the accenters can’t assent to my accent, and they usually assist me out of their accenters group. ;-)

Is Jamaican a race? None of the ones I have ever known were in the least bit of a hurry, Mon.
Bmore on January 31, 2013 at 9:44 PM
This is accurate.
Accusations of racism are a way for the liberals to keep people in line and they don’t want to let an opportunity go by to reinforce that line of thinking. The truth is largely irrelevant.

And of course, the Walter Isaacson agency would never target their audience by pigeon-holing them or anything.

It’s only racist to racists. Black comedians like Eddie Murphy have made a career by riffing on white folk.
Mr. Curly on January 31, 2013 at 9:51 PM
The Simpsons episode that aired tonight had “comic book guy” comment that the idea that gay men love all men as the worst stereotype ever. I’d put this ad where “you betcha” meets “ya man” in that same group. Fun kidding about our differences.
Far different from the way too many of our fellow citizens think the whole South is populated by the family featured on Honey Boo Boo.
Happy Nomad on January 31, 2013 at 9:52 PM

(They’re pretty much the same, as far as I can tell. ‘Cept the UPer will serve you up a hot -n- tasty pasty afterwards.)
(Also, I had a job cooking in a diner years ago. We were serving pasties for a bit. The high-school waitresses kept pronouncing it with a long-A. I had to explain that they were two very different things. :) )
RedCrow on January 31, 2013 at 10:02 PM
Considering these types of ads didn’t exist when the constitution was written, I’d think there’s a pretty simple case to be made that free-speech rights aren’t automatically extended to these types of advertisements capable of allowing a single company to easily influence many people.

If it makes you feel better, you’re only a couple hundred bucks off of having as much money as Zimbabwe. A nation rich in diamonds and plutonium.
I’m not trying to make light of your situation, honestly. I’ve been there and know how hard it is emotionally. This is part of what makes my blood boil with the MSM. Were a Republican in the Presidency, the media would be filled with stories of unemployed and underemployed Americans. With the rat-eared wonder in office, any downturn is attributed to the House GOP and Hurricane Sandy. Best of luck to you. You and SWalker and anyone without work that wants it are in my prayers.

Maybe I missed it, but I don’t recall all this controversy when Brad Pitt, playing the grim reaper in Meet Joe Back, conversed in the same Jamaican accent, and with the old black lady near death in the hospital.
