Fiat and Jennifer Lopez



Here is a Smoking Gun article that exposes that Jennifer Lopez used a body double when filming a Fiat commercial in the Bronx.

I am not sure why this created so much controversy. Do people really think commercials reflect reality? The actors and actresses read the lines given to them in exchange for a check. You give them money and they will read and do what they are told.

What I find to be more interesting is that Jennifer Lopez was actually raised in a good middle-class neighborhood in the Bronx. Her parents sent her to private Catholic schools so that she would be spared the jungle of the Public Schools. And, yet, the ad copy is playing to the notion that Lopez came from a ghetto background.

But why should we elevate the notion of coming from a bad background? The media plays this narrative because it fits the egalitarian religion. That Miss Lopez is somehow "inspired" by ghetto rats. In a healthy society we should celebrate that she had a good father that provided a good education separate from the enriching diversity. But we can't do that. That would be "elitist".



And here is another controversial Fiat ad:

    All fun and games in Jamaica. And always white women and "youth" (or middle eastern) men - never the opposite. Obviously they are not targeting a white male audience with theese commersials. I find them both repulsive. Do they think that Jay-Lo will bring in white male customers?

    If her fat ass will fit in a Fiat, then so will your wife's.

Violence In Chicago

President Obama was disappointed that the Olympic Committee decided not to choose Chicago as the venue for the 2016 Olympics. As President Obama was formerly a successful “community organizer” in Chicago, this defeat must have been especially disappointing. Part of the reason that Chicago may not have been selected is due to how Violence has stricken much of the city. Just a couple of days ago a Chicago student videotaped a murder of an honor student. http://www.csmonitor.com/2009/0929/p02s01-usgn.html (As a side note, it seems to be especially dangers to be a Black honor student. In the stories linked below, all the victims happened to be honor students.) http://www.smmirror.com/volume3/issue23/samohi_honor_student.asp http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article/article?f=/c/a/2005/09/27/BAG4OEUD661.DTL http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-79459073.html http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2009/01/26/2009-01-26_progun_senatordesignate_gillibrand_shoul.html Link to raw video: http://www.myfox
