Yeah, I had a pretty negative reaction to that one, along with the Nationwide commercial. I was’t too thrilled with the “throw like a girl” commercial either.
This Land is Your Land was written by an American Communist and owned by his Commie children.
Noted this, too. The first 30 seconds of the commercial were good, and then it all came apart rapidly.
Surprise surprise. Jeep iconic as an American vehicle owned by an Italian company (Fiat) and assembled in China. What should they expect?
“What kind of globalist bullsh#t is this... wrote one youtuber”.
Pretty much the SAME WORDS my husband said aloud.
Didn’t have to search far for this;
“Arlo Guthrie tells a story in concerts on occasion, of his mother returning from a dance tour of China, and reporting around the Guthrie family dinner table that at one point in the tour she was serenaded by Chinese children singing the song. Arlo says Woody was incredulous: “The Chinese? Singing “This land is your land, this land is my land? From California to the New York island?”

Advertising idiots and execs who obviously wanted to imply that a jeep can take you anywhere but completely missed the actual connection Americans would make and the offense it would cause.
I was pretty pissed at the Jeep commercial.
Globalist, commie, feel-good kum by ya bullcrap.
A Commie anthem composed in response to “God Bless America”
No word on when "outraged Merkuns" are going to blast the Uniparty in Washington over their theft and lawbreaking...
Party on, Garth! Circus Maximus 2015 ROCKS!
Jeep sucks anyway. Bought one in ‘07. Damned thing fell apart at 60k.
Pretty funny that all these “patriots” are up in arms, defending an “AMERICAN” song written by a Communist!
At least, he was an AMERICAN Communist, I guess.
Why is anyone surprised? We have a raghead communist in the White Hut, who nationalized two of our auto mfg. companies a few years ago; one of which makes Jeeps. One of the companies conducted a charade pretending to pay back all monies owed. Bullsxxt! They’ve not done any such thing until they make their defrauded investors whole; and no, I’m not one of them.
To me, the song is similar to the experience of the Pledge of Allegiance: both written by socialists for socialist purposes, but hijacked by all of America for all-American purposes.
Now that the commies and their camel jockey pals have taken over the whole planet, the joint has become one giant freak show.
I was outraged because Woodie Guthrie was a rigid Marxist ideologue, and that song is a Communist anthem.
the song was sung by a commie hippie who would probably approve of it
Geez, why don’t they just do a commercial with Paul Robeson singing “Deep River” while they’re at it.
The one stanza they never play:
There was a high wall there that tried to stop me
A sign was painted said “Private Property”
But on the backside it didn’t say nothin’
This land was made for you and me.
