I'm surprised at the attitude around here.

Last year Chysler's M&M spot did inspire something. Pride in a company, a town, a can-do spirit? Whatever, it went over well in Detroit.
The fact we all know is; it's a company trying to get you to feel good about that company. If they can also tug on your heart strings by relating to a team and a country they've done well.

Look at where we are. We've got a very uninspiring economy, a government out of control and just as lost and uninspiring as the leaders combined past present and pending. Obama took his one moment that could've inspired some kind of national pride and purposely ruined it with leaks, lack of evidence, and as little flag waving as possible. He had to play it to his base. They murdered a mass murderer and politely buried the guy so as not to offend his religion.

The Eastwood ad mentions that people are hurting and we all know how true that is. Whatever the solution, whatever the cause, it suggests we'll find a way to win. You folks actually have a problem with that?

I’ve got a problem if the method by which we win is to PICK winners and losers and fund the winners by making losers out of taxpayers.

Yeah - I’ll take “no way” over *that way*.

Next, you’ll be telling us about the positive message in Chairman Mao’s work!

Correction: They are trying to get you to give them your money.

The people running that company don't give a damn about you, your family, your friends, or America. They care about their bank account.

If they can manipulate your feelings somehow, they will do so, and unfortunately 90% of this country is dumb enough to buy into such advertising.
