I....am....(gulp, swallow)....an.....Amer...ican..(whew, I got it out!)....(smile. relief) That's patriotic? I keep feeling that replacing the word American with something such as Pedophile would better match their tone of confession.

I have to agree, although part of this impression is acheived by the "artist" who spiced the ad. Adding the skips in an effort to achieve a different tempo or something - so much of it comes off as highly unnatural.

My least favorite: The young, thin dark-haired guy (Mexican or Arab descent??) - talk about no conviction! The guy scowls and practically roles his eyes as he coughs up the words "an American." Made a mockery of the whole ad it seems. Who the heck chose to leave that unbelievable tripe in there and what was their interpretation of his attitude?

There is one guy (only one), who seems incredibly proud of being an American. Ironically, he has one of the few accents too, and it is heavy. Older guy. Chest out, proud like a legal immigrant who went through the proper channels, learned the pledge, took his test, the oath, etc. and is now one of the true proud American immigrants. I actually love the immigrants who go about becoming a citizen the old fashioned way - it's the illegals and free ride types that really bug me.

Some of the greatest and kindest American citizens are the Sikhs, who've unfortunately suffered at the hands of a few ignoramuses. At a gathering in Seattle, they had a bunch of Sikhs looking very scared until people came up to them and hugged them.

For those who are proud Americans, even if they wish to retain part of their culture, I am glad. It's the ungrateful ones seeking ONLY financial gain, and the native-born scumbags that make me want to open fire.
