Who Dat? and What Dat All De Controversy?
As a youngster, my Dad loved to play this game on us kids. He'd come home and shout "Who Dat?" and we would answer "Who DAT?" to which he would reply, "Who Dat who say Who Dat afta I say Who Dat?" Seems it came from a vaudeville routine but evidently Dad had heard it recently and loved to do the routine with Mom and me.
Everything old is new again.
Usher in the 2010 New Orleans Saints and their "Who Dat" Nation. That's right...it's mainstream now. And Dad even knew back then that if not offensive, it bordered on mockery. But it was still fun and the Saints fans have found that out too. Why, it's the lead in the Super Bowl Pre Show. It's also on Wikipedia. Jeez, I'm outta touch sometimes but the history is all there. Including this little gem of a cartoon (from the makers of the Inkwell shorts) and...notice the frogs (who are voiced by the Ink Spots)...they look strangely familiar, like the WB Frog, perhaps?
Notice the controversy with the big, bad NFL threatening to shut down little old t-shirt makers. But the fans boycotted and the NFL caved.
Oh...Colts by 10. It's Manning's time.
This just in...Super Bowl pre Game is invaded by POTUS who is BLOVIATING about HCR. Is nothing sacred? Is there no escape from this non-stop narcissist?
