On an unrelated note, I was watching TV the other day and saw this dumb beer commercial. Has anyone seen it? A martial arts master with a long beard (of course), teaches a white dude -- through rigorous discipline and punishment ala Kill Bill --how to pour Bud Light. Damn, can't I watch TV without some annoying image/stereotype? Apparently not.
