"The land of and" "Losers I love you." subliminal advertising? or a hidden racist agenda?
With old country buffets release of the recent "The land of &" campaign they released a new commercial. Featuring a magical leprechaun with a host of clever tricks. Including some intersting use of sign language. If you pause the video at 0:08 seconds, you can clearly see him saying "loser I love you" or "I love you loser" depending on what way you would like to interperet it. Anyways I will let you guys decide for youself. Is it coincidental that its directed towards a black family?

That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever read. I was the actor in that spot, and can tell you firsthand that I wasn't signing anything. The intention was to make the character magical, like a magician with lots of large hand gestures. In that particular take, we probably did that shot ten times, my hands just wound up in that position. I don't know why they settled on that take for the final edit, but I guaranty it had nothing to do with calling anyone a loser.
