Save Us, Racist Superman!
Plucked from the sticky bowels of YouTube, this commercial for
an Illinois auto dealer has a certain resonance as Clinton and
Obama get ready for their (21st!) debate.
If you have trouble viewing the ad, here's a summary.
(Terrifying, bucktoothed sumo wrestler "Import Man" (representing "Asian capitalists") harasses nebbish woman.)
IMPORT MAN: Pay mo' fo' eeempot cahhhs from meeeeee! Hahahaha!
(Super Don, America's Doughiest Metahuman, flies into the scene.)
SUPER DON: I'm Super Don from South Oak Dodge in Matteson, and I can save you from the import car trap.
(He punches import man.)
IMPORT MAN: OOOOH!
(Import Man FLIES into the stratosphere, pursued for some reason by Super Don, as the hero READS a list of cheap cars.)
SUPER DON: Buy American from South Oak Dodge and Chryslers!
IMPORT MAN: Curse you, Super Don!
We now know why Lou Dobbs' show is uncancellable—nativists have powers.
