Dear Mr. Yassky

Jump to Comments

While I appreciate you for being the only candidate to run campaign ads on Telemundo in the AM (which is when I watch Spanish-language television), I could do without the salsa background music.

Contrary to popular assumptions, we don’t dance everywhere. And we certainly don’t dance into the voting booths. It’s stereotypical, ignorant (not all Latinos enjoy salsa), offensive, and reeking of Spandering (or, the disingenious fawning of Spanish-speaking voters and consumers). The soft-rock guitar in the rest of your advertisements won’t make us run to your opponent. Promise.

Thanks,

Mo

PS: I also just noticed that the b-roll footage is basically the same in both commercials. But I’ll let that one slide.
