Great commercial.
I’ll pass on the car.
What makes me laugh is that Ali’s mother named him after a white anti-slavery activist and then the tool converted to islime and changed his name.

Amen.
1996 Toyota Tercel No bells no whistles 35 to 40 mpg runs forever.
Nice try, GM. Why wouldn’t they appeal to globalists and minorities?
Cadillac is a Indian word for bad driver in a big car.
Most Caddy drivers are like 100 years old. They hog both lanes on the interstate, don’t use turn signals and drive either 10 MPH under or 35 MPH over the speed limit.
Almost as Bad as BMW drivers. Whats the difference between a BMW and a Porcupine?
On the Porcupine the pricks are on the outside.
Throwing Clay’s name into that mix derailed the entire ad. If they wanted a ‘person of color’ to throw in there, they could have gone with Hank Aaron.
Upon reflection, I think the writer must be a racist. Isn’t the whole point of the ad that Blacks can only succeed as athletes? GM owes some rep-par-A-tions.
damn, i don't have tv so that's news to me, i was going by past articles that said he lost work because of it... i guess all things change in the wood
“Why was that not a Super Bowl ad?
Why do you think?
“...After his having lived off the fat of the land for decades, he (Ali) never condemned the 9/11 attacks or any other of the manifold Muslim atrocities of the last several decades...”
I agree with this and all the points of your “rant”. We need to be ranting in these times.
You may have missed his role as the protagonist Robert Quarles in the third season of Justified - a murderous, oxy snorting, pederast mob enforcer
He was brilliant
yeah, sometimes not having TV i miss something good, i'll have to look for it online
Doc says they are selling rum as fast as they can bottle it... gonna put in a couple more fermentation tanks
Fun ad. -

Fricken Obama...

cool... have you tried it yet??? they are still in the process of getting labels for different flavors
” he’s a Christian tooo... and won’t take immoral parts”
Um... Did you see him on Justified? He played a gangster who had a homosexual torture fetish, often performing nude.
see post #28...
.
I guess you never saw his role in Season 3 of Justified.
He was an electrifying sadistic psychotic villain in that.
Even his “google images” make him look scary and reptilian.
For anyone familiar with his various roles, it was a commercial which came off like, “Cadillac, the car of choice for evil scary people”
