New Low in Pandering Set
On Sunday, during the last game of
Los Mets' lost season (70-92), mixed in with the usual GEICO revolving lizard/plastic eyes on cash/cavemen commercials; insufferable, Citibank muppies (middle-aged, urban professionals), virtually none of whom are white, heterosexual men; ailing Hispanics, blacks, and Brits (and now, one token white manâ€"he must be gay, or a communist) for the NY State Smokers' Quitline; and HSBC
"citizens of the world,"Â who are
"content to let the government decide how many people to let in," standing on HSBC soapboxes (I kid you not!); SportsNet NY (better known as SNY), the local cable channel which broadcasts most of the team's games, ran an ad I'd never seen before "¦ in Spanish. All Spanish.
A tall, skinny, pale, white, 30-something woman is the star, representing the law firm of
Levi & Michael LLP. At one point, in a mock courtroom, she addresses a jury,
entirely in Spanish. Then the heavyset, 40-something, Mestizo jury forewomanâ€"the colorations of the performers were
certainly no accident; if you don't believe me, just watch a
Spanish soap operaâ€"reads the jury's verdict aloud,
entirely in Spanish.
Levi & Michael apparently seeks to tap into the lucrative, illegal alien frivolous lawsuit racket.
Someone needs to tell the folks at Levi & Michael that America is an English-speaking country and, with the exception of Maricopa County (AZ) Superior Court Presiding
Judge Barbara Mundell's unconstitutional, Spanish-speaking, DUI court, doesn't have Spanish-speaking courts (yet). Levi & Michael apparently wishes to change this situation.
Not coincidentally, arch-hispanderer
Fred Wilpon, the owner of Los Mets (the team formerly known as the New York Mets), is majority owner of
SNY, in partnership with Time Warner and Comcast.
Let the folks at Levi & Michael know what you think of their ad:

SNY President Steve Raab was formerly the company's vice president of marketing. Marketing to whom, one wonders?
