Mr. Granderson essentially verbalizes The Daily Show's Seussization (below)
Wait, what?? DC women always wear hose? I skip hose the second it hits 40 degrees out. Have these people been to DC? It is not the land of ugly people (and who is the arbiter of that?). I mean I've never lived in NYC or LA, but people from SF and Boston have commented on how 'fancier' DC is style-wise. We are not dowdy. These outsiders need to realize that "Washington," the political capital, and all its trappings, is not DC, the city/metro area we all work and/or live in. I do get this:
This is a little trick of faux self-deprecation in which people,
especially men, make a claim to being smart. But these people don't
build rockets or calculate the probability of Earthlike planets in
another galaxy. Yet a single woman is required to be very impressed by a
male suitor's knowledge of political trivia and to pretend that this
signifies a great intellect.
But that's just men; it's just the type of trivia that varies.
Seriously, could we quit reading too much into Superbowl ads? The space babies thing was a joke. It was funny. Since when do we draw parenting advice from superbowl ads?
