Ok, ya’ll think this is ridiculous because you saw it on YouTube. I, however, get to see it constantly every time I sit down to watch TV. Oh boy do I love Alabama…[insert sarcasm]
I can’t believe that this exists. I just can’t. I mean, I can because I am aware of current political events and discrepancies between right and left but this is a ridiculous way to use campaign funds.
Spotted by our Sarah Ball:
“This is Alabama. We speak English. Learn it.”
—Tim James, a Republican candidate for governor of Alabama. James’ campaignposted this ad on YouTube last week (with disabled comments, presumably to avoid any commentary in languages other than English), getting at the most important issues in his state, which has 11 percent unemployment and among the lowest educational attainment rates in the nation.

I live in AL & I can’t get over the hilariousness of his assertion, “We speak English.” I have 24 years’ worth of redneck encounters that speak to the contrary. Y’all come back now, ya hear?
