Anyone else catch this gem-of-an-advertisement on TV?
Unfortunately yes I did.
Was I mistaken in that the maid was portrayed by a Taiwanese girl in dark face paint?
It’s possible that she was a local actress.
After all, where would they find a Filippino with time to spare to shoot an ad?
[quote=“shifty”]Was I mistaken in that the maid was portrayed by a Taiwanese girl in dark face paint?[/quote]She didn’t look like any Filippina I’ve ever seen. A friend of mine in Europe has one of these vacuuming robots btw. It works pretty well.
Then I bet his maid has beautiful nails. 
Who has carpets anyway? 
I hear ya…if I had carpet at my place, it would be a manky gross bacteria-filled mess. Humidity and cats and carpet don’t work here, IMO.
That little robot sweeper thing can dust non-carpeted floors though, right? I thought that was how it was presented in the commercial.
Who’s doing the vacuming under the table and chairs … ?
They probably should tell the Taiwanese that robovac is cheaper and easier to keep than a maid …
Isn’t it filipina and filipino?
Is taiwan’s non-PC-ness awesome or sad? Sometimes maybe its both.
It’s different, that’s for sure.
sometimes it can be pretty funny, other times not so much 
I wonder why they didn’t use a real philipino person - would that have been less or more PC. I’m not sure
