Football season is here folks!!! America's (Favorite) Pastime is back for another 4 months (much to the thrill of Housewives everywhere!). This commercial is airing on television promoting Direct TV's Sunday package (Fuck Sunday Ticket! Redzone is where it's at!). We spoke about other racist commercials and this one came to mind. Does this play up voodoo religion misconceptions? You decide (I say it's cool with me, as long as they don't put any ju-ju magic on my precious Dolphins).
No problem for me either. This is more of an stereotype, or funny exaggeration, than a racist statement. New Orleans' have been proud of their Voodoo heritage, and the fact that their football team is called the Saints is just according to such circumstances. I don't think that is wrong for me to love New Orleans because of jazz, Mardi Gras and Hand Grenades either.
