Watch: Johnnie Walker's Pro-Immigrant 'Citizenship' Ad
Posted in: Uncategorized
Could an average American pass a citizenship test?
Johnnie Walker subtly raises this question in its latest “Keep Walking America” ad. The spot, by Anomaly, is the latest immigrant-friendly ad by the Diageo-owned brand, which grabbed headlines last year with a spot timed with Election Day that included an English and Spanish voiceover of Woody Guthrie’s “This Land Is Your Land.”
The new ad, called “Citizenship,” shows an Hispanic man taking a citizenship test and later quizzing his white friends at a bar on one of the questions: Who wrote the Declaration of Independence? His buddies come up short when they misfire with guesses including Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Franklin and John Hancock. “None of you would have passed,” says the man, as he proudly reveals the correct answer, Thomas Jefferson.
