Funny Or Die spoofs controversial Hoekstra ad

By now, most political junkies have seen the infamous Super Bowl campaign ad from former Rep. Pete Hoekstra that aired in Michigan markets. In the spot, an Asian actress standing before a rice patty reads her lines in broken English and thanks Hoekstra’s Democratic opponent for the U.S. Senate, Debbie Stabenow, for sending jobs to China.

The comedy web site Funny Or Die has their own take on the controversial ad ending with Hoekstra admitting his only experience with Asian Americans comes from the “Rush Hour” trilogy of movies starring co-starring Jackie Chan.

The skit even gives a shout out to former Golden State Warriors backbencher Jeremy Lin who is quickly becoming the toast of New York City after a recent run of fine play for the Knicks.
