There is an WSO thread about the World Cup. Alas, WSO thinks so little of we older alums, that we can’t login and participate. If I could, I would ask what people thought of the Red Stripe ad that just played on ESPN during halftime of the excellent Spain-France game. Check it out. The add features a black man dancing to Reggae music while holding a bottle of Red Stripe. The white man looks on. The black man hands the white man the bottle. The white man begins to dance, although awkwardly. The tag line is something like: “Red Stripe: Helping our White Friends Dance for over 70 Years.”

Can you imagine what would happen if, say, a sports team at Williams made a skit like this, or even a video? I bet that would lead to an interesting campus discussion!

Back to the game.
