"In the backwoods of Georgia, in a dilapidated house..." can amount to any good. I'm just saying.
You know that Extra gum commercial, with the brogue-accented saucy piece of gum? It's been bothering me for a while. I just want to know why advertising executives felt the need to make the gum Scottish.
Are Scotsmen more tenacious? Tenacious like the flavor of Extra gum? I know there must be a link somewhere, but I'll be damned if I can find it.
When I think strong and stubborn, I think of my mother, who is Mexican, not Scottish. But maybe having a piece of gum with a Mexican accent would offend people, like the Frito Bandito, who I actually thought was kind of funny. (Don't tell any of my relatives, please!)
Maybe they did it because they wanted the gum to have some sort of accent to be memorable and they figured the Scottish wouldn't sue them.
Scotsmen, are, as I recall, pretty laid back.
You know, I'm thinking too hard about this. It's just gum for chrissakes!
This website made me wet my pants. Obviously, I'm not the only one who thinks digging up one of our greatest Presidents and re-animating him in order to run for President (or Vice-President) is a good idea. We just disagree who that President was.
(Me: Teddy Roosevelt.)
