Commercials are very PC if
you look very closely.
In this Verizon commercial a little black girl is correcting a White Verizon spokesman as to what a simile is. Apparently the writers, the director of the commercial, and Verizon all don't know a simile is either. A simile is a figure of speech that compares two things using the words "like" or "as". For example, hungry as an Ox, or gone like the flash. A metaphor is a figure of speech that ascribes a comparison that does not use "like or "as". For example, He stabbed him with the force of a freight train. Where is the simile in this commercial?
