Does anyone besides me find this ad strange? Ted's dad speaking Spanish, while Ted sits there looking constipated for 30 seconds. It certainly can't be directed at Ted's base, because SPANISH - eeewww. So who can this be for? Seems counterproductive to me, but without subtitles, I don't know what dad is saying. Funny, but the comments are disabled. I wonder why.

Oftentimes the method of religion is more important than the God of religion.
Lots of Christians want Christianity to be the law of America but 'their' brand of Christianity in charge.
Religious wars, anyone?

(20,263 posts)I only took Spanish in high school, isn't it redundant to say "Yo soy". Doesn't "soy" by itself translate to "I am"?

(595 posts)Isn't Ted afraid his base will be upset he's not speaking American? Is that why he only spoke 8 words in Spanish? He's afraid of Beto!
