red octagon! what do I do?! fuck! what does this green light mean?! SHIT! wtf does a yellow triangle mean?

whats going on with Alabama these days!??!?!!!???

English actually is the official language of Alabama.
In 1990 89% of Alabama voters approved a constitutional amendment to make English the official language.  Alabama Public Safety returned to offering the test in twelve languages after offering the test only in English was challenged in the courts.  During the case it came out that translations of the test were obtained at NO COST to the department. Also non-English speakers were NOT more accident prone than other drivers and Alabama has always offered special testing to the deaf, the handicapped and the illiterate.  Check it yourself - Sandoval v. Hagan

GRRRRRRRRRRRRR Who the f*%k raises filthy creeps like this? It is SO tiresome and SO disgusting to see these cockroaches STILL crawling out of the woodwork after all this time. WHY are we still living in a country where it’s feasible for someone to say something like this in an attempt to win political office. I am tired beyond words of bigoted Republican jerkoffs. I’d like to meet this particular one, but not to say anything to him. There are really no words for what I feel. I want to meet him so that I can vomit in his face. [And yeah, yeah—that’s gross and makes me intolerant of bigotry. So what? It’s 100% true: Too much rational debate, and not enough vomiting on assholes. Besides, I didn’t make a commercial that attempts to victimize other folks for my own political and monetary gain.]

why doesn’t he stop moving? he’s always walking, or rocking, or swaying…

Why didn’t he just go with “I’m Tim James. I’m a racist fuck.” It would have received the same response.

Fucking bigot. You know almost 80% of fellow Americans I’ve met abroad haven’t done a fucking thing to try to learn the country’s language. FUCK YOU!

Isn’t that the guy from 7th Heaven?

Language represents a constraint of Colonialism in many respects. How did the English hold onto their colonies despite being extremely outnumbered by their subjects? Creating trade routes, governments, churchs and schools that operated exclusively using the Queen’s English. Power was tied directly to use of language. People who couldn’t afford education were/are kept in subservient roles. While it may be annoying to not be able to communicate with everyone or perhaps to feel like an outsider in your own country, demanding that people use one language reinforces this power structure. It inhibits people’s potential to contribute to our society, and quite frankly, I think we can do with a little bit of humility and new ideas considering the actions our government has taken in the last decade. I am interested in innovative ideas that do not exclusively cater to oppositional attitudes. Xenophobia is not the answer. Clearly. As an aside: spoken language is not the end all and be all of human communication. Hush, anyone?

I’ve tried to like you, Republicans. I really have, but you’re bigots. The lot of you.

and it makes sense…(checks line)…does it to you?

He’s merely saying that in order to get a driver’s license Alabama you have to speak English. What the hell is so wrong with requiring that you speak the language that ALL THE FUCKING SIGNS AND SAFETY COMMUNICATIONS ARE CONVEYED IN so that you may PASS the driver’s license test? If you are a foreign visitor, use public transportation or get a taxi! That’s what they are for and they (some) generate REVENUE! The @#$@#%!!! COST that it takes to satisfy all of the languages that are not conveyed on the signs and other forms of safety communication is astronomical. You bleeding hearts kill me and you are one of the primary reasons why our current tax revenues can’t pay for shit. I started learning Spanish in the 3rd grade and I knew how to speak it before I ever went to Mexico! People don’t want to work for anything anymore. Guess what motherfucker, if you want what America has to offer, if you want the opportunities here, put forth the effort it takes to get it! If I want to do business with a Japanese company, I’ll learn Japanese. If I want to live in Russia, I’ll learn Russian. Are we just suppose to accomodate every language in every capacity??? Is nothing left to the individual’s responsibility? WTF ever.

No matter what I speak I have no interest in going anywhere near Alabama.

Oddly, the thing that bothers me most about this commercial is the use of cross-dissolves as he repeatedly steps into frame.

In Alambama they speak Amurican

…and this isn’t a joke? Really?
