conscientia mille testes
I have an itchy feeling about the stereotyping aspect. But the problem is, it tells an important truth. the Budget deficit and the trade deficit are the same beast. Worrying about the trivial part of the add and ignoring the substance, that profligate spending is exporting jobs overseas, shows we are still not adult enough to have a useful discussion on the matter.
I don't like the idea of a chinese girl speaking pidgin is the way to make the point, but the point that profligacy on our part is creating jobs in Asia and unemployment here is one that needs to be made
I hear you, lets look at it this way, those folks making iphones at FOXCONN, even the on site managers who face to face with apple or other such industry types who deal in china here, how good or bad do they speak?
I KNOW they have accents and speech currents like the ads, I have seen and heard it on conf. calls. and in person is Dalian...*shrugs*...imho, its a lame attempt to as you infer negate/detract the real focus of the ad.
