I'm not making it up. I wouldn't know how. She'll be talking to me about something. Suddenly, the words fade into silence. The power comes into her eyes, and they go blank. She's somewhere else, away from me - someone I don't know. I call to her, she doesn't even hear me. Then, with a long sigh, she's back. Looks at me, brightly. Doesn't even know she's been away, can't tell me where or when.
Scottie, do you believe that someone out of the past, someone dead,can enter and take possession...
But you're still the hard-headed Scott, aren't you?
And she wanders - God knows where she wanders.

OMG: I actually remember this commercial. Eh...yeah. I'm THAT old.
I hope next Tuesday is Joe Jitsu- or are you going to stick with MExicans for a while and do Go-Go Gomez or Speedy Gonzalez?
Yeah, because when I saw that as a kid, I assumed all Mexicans were bandits! Just like I assumed all French men were horny skunks. This isn't nearly as offensive as you insinuate. That would mean that all western movies that have Mexican villains are racist- which is a bit ridiculous.
If they were Mexican Villians played by non-mexicans would that make it offensive enough for you?
This is the audio version of black -face.
Impersonating someone or something that is of a different race/gender/persuasion/species is not inherently racist.
Black face is an extreme example that is commonly considered racist. I wouldn't equate it to Speedy Gonzales or others of that ilk. Is Angelina Jolie a racist for portraying Daniel Pearl's widow in her new movie? (She's playing a woman who is born of mixed-race parents)
Does that aspect of her life factor into the "story"?
When you think of Latin American voice-over the first name that comes to you is MEL BLANC? Really?
OMG: Dude.
"When you think of Latin American voice-over the first name that comes to you is MEL BLANC? Really?"
No, when I think of an American created "ethnic" cartoon character of the same era, and one that is often criticised, I thought of Speedy G. I will admit though, that unless a voice over is performed by a famous actor who's done work that is shown in the U.S., I can't say that I'd recognize it from any nationality.
This is voiced by the same guy as SG.
"This is voiced by the same guy as SG."
And your point is?
Wow! Who is this ANON A-hole?
(says the other ANON A-hole!)
The point I am making is that these and other projects were created in a time where there were latin american artists who could have done the job but at this point in time it was perfectly fine to use a very well known voice and have him mimic a latin american person.
It is not the norm today. I'm poining out the differences. Thats all. No need to get bent out of shape.
My comment that SG and FB are voiced by the same guy is that they are indeed a very well known voice and clearly the advertising campain of the time wanted to capitalize on the fame of the man who was the voice of bugs bunny.
They didnt care if he spoke latin american spanish but if he could mock people who could that was good enough.
If I may jump all the way back to the "all french men are horny skunks" comment: While being an actual skunk is not a common stereotype of the French, having terrible body odor and being lecherous are two stereotypical traits associated with French men. And the Frito Bandito is politically incorrect not because he steals, and not because he's voiced by a white guy, but because he is a stereotypical, well, bandito- thick accent, bandoleers, white "mexican peasant" outfit. I also think that a fairly strong case can be made for the FB to be seen as a caricature instead of a racially offensive character.
And Luke shuts him up.
