Willie should have taken lessons from Lucky - it's damn tough being a pitchleprechaun in the modern world. Willie, the cantankerous and diminutive green-clad hawker for 7up's dnL, has been reemed by oversensitive folks with bad hearing. In a commercial with a cop, Willie says "I'm a myth" before getting jiggy with it. A few folks heard it as "I'm a Mick," which is a bit of a derogatory thing for Irish types. So.... back to the recording studio to makes things clear as clover.
The Belfast Telegraph has the story here, and superadgrunts can view the misunderstood commercial here.
