I have no patience to read walls of text, but I do see my name in there, so I KNOW he's mad.

I expect more "americans is bad" speeches to come.

also what the fuck does this commercial have to do with race? China is a rival state. China would love to (and is aiming to) pick over our failed empire's bones and take over as global hegemon. China is one of the more likely candidates for new superpower if the US does collapse soon. Incidentally, there are Chinese people in China.

It's not like the commercial is about zimbabwean farmers becoming masters of the US and turning the washington mall reflecting pool into a basketball court. The situation in this commercial might be sensational, but it's plausible.

That sleazy motion blurred CGI/green-screen set is pretty fucking outrageous though, I must say.

Aarone:

Caesar ruled as dictator of Rome for 4 years before being murdered. Not so much thwarted as cut short. He even started land reforms, altered the tax system, changed the calender, and quite a few other things. He was the great uncle of Octavian, whom he posthumously adopted. After adoption, Octavian assumed the name Gaius Julius Caesar, and was awarded the honorific Augustus, or the revered one, by the Senate after he solidified his power in 27 bc, altho he had effectively been ruling Rome since 44 bc, following the death of his adopted father.

I stand corrected; my apologies - it's been a few years. Besides, it's only fitting that someone should call me out on my own BS! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

wtb info on why that is racist.

protip: just because the commercial doesn't feature white people doesn't mean it's racist.
