'Who says that?' Samuel L. Jackson makes dig at Trump in new ad
Actor Samuel L. Jackson is now starring in a new ad campaign and his first commercial is taking a not-so-subtle jab at President Donald Trump.
Jackson is the new spokesperson for Vattenfall an electric power company owned by the Swedish government. In the ad, the legendary actor is seen standing on the edge of a rocky cliff overlooking several wind turbines in the ocean, eating seaweed snacks made from seaweed growing beneath the turbines (which aren't for sale). He then referenced remarks Trump made about wind turbines without directly mentioning the president.
"Motherf------ wind farms. Loud, ugly, harmful to nature. Who says that?" Jackson said. "These giants are standing tall against fossil fuels. Rising up out of the ocean like a middle finger to CO2. Deep beneath the waves, they can become artificial reefs, creating habitats for sea life to grow."
These are wind farm seaweed snacks, made with seaweed grown at a Vattenfall wind farm. Mmm! Serious gourmet s---," Jackson said, quoting a famous line of his from the 1994 film Pulp Fiction. "So, what's it gonna be? 'Motherf------ wind farms?' Or, 'motherf------ wind farms.'"

I understand he's trying to do good, but the use of wind turbines has nothing to do with fighting fossil fuels.
