Like so aptly said in 'V for Vendetta':
"Some lie to cover up the truth, and some lie to bring out the truth"
there is no such thing as a "lie for a good cause".
there are and were plenty of native americans that could have done that part.
oh wait, I think you need some aborigines for some commercial work in australia.
where do I sign up?
Well if you have the shoe polish, along the dotted line......................
Don't get me wrong, I would have prefered it to have been a true native american though, keep in mind, the message is 'don't litter and be responsible for your own rubbish'. It was not a question about his heritage now was it.
In the fight for the truth, more often than not, the true message is lost.
sort of a weird angle the environmentalists were playing...
the native american, so sad that we bad people have ruined his home.
then finding out that he was actually italian.
the fact of the matter is that he is the whole bite to the commercial. so I think it's kind of important.
maybe not, but hey. just seems deceptive and deceitful. even if the message was important. like if they're lying about the little things such as that, what next? an invasion of southwest asia?
I wonder if the producers actually knew that he wasn't a legitimate Native American?

I love how most of the commercials footage is from thirty years ago. Its almost as if they are saying "our country" hasnt done shit since then. Martin Luther King, Peace Protests, Lunar Landings, and then KATRINA? WTF?
It's good to know it only took 5 years after 9/11 (and only 1 year after Katrina) for a major American company to exploit those two tragedies in a commercial (and they did it at the same time ) Capitalism at it's best!!!
