That Silverado commercial generated a lot of debate among automotive marketers. Those on the left were upset because of the commercialization of King and Parks. Those on the right were upset because it portrayed the U.S. in a negative light.

Chevy still uses the same John Mellencamp lyrics but not shows different (non-controversial) visuals.

Unfortunately, auto manufacturers pay too much attention to their ad agencies, which are more interested in being provocative than selling cars.
