Vanity: John Cougar's "Our Country" Chevy Commercial
Posted on 10/05/2006 1:48:52 PM PDT by slowhand520
Anyone else peeved as I am at this nonsense? I am assuming it is a patriotic song. The images you see during this commercial are Vietnam War protestors, the peace sign, Nixon waving goodbye before he gets on his helicopter, and Katrina flooding. What a depressing commercial. Kind of defeatist if you ask me. Thoughts?

'Thoughts?' Yeah...

If you want a vehicle with American made parts in it, go for a Japanese name. :p

Who the hell greenlighted that?

It makes me want to buy Japanese
Perhaps Chevrolet wants the same thing also.

It would be a mistake to assume that anything John Cougar Mellencamp does is patriotic.

I haven't seen it yet... its depressing that he's a Hoosier.. :(I think our Canadian friends can correct us, but your spelling has an extra `o' and an unnecessary `i'.

Mellencamp is a lib from way back. He seems to be saying that our country is full of nothing but failed military adventures, crooked Presidents, and indifference to Katrina victims.
Would not surprise me to see this as a video (with or without the Chevy logos) at the next Democratic convention.
If Chevrolet wants to get all patriotic, they should look at the Chrysler "The Pride is Back: Born in America" commercials again some time.

OMG I hate that one too! They portray the father as a eunuch while the "tough" mom drives away.
To: edzo4
That Ford commercial is just weird, and doesn't give me a good feeling at all.

Cougar is a Conservative-bashing lib. I would expect nothing less from him or his type. Too bad Chevy had to fall for it.

To top it off, they should show the truck tanking up at CITGO.

Chevy's commercial makes it all the more reason to buy Japanese.
To: theDentist
Yes, believe it or not, it's supposed to create a patriotic pride in potential buyers... But... but...
Dissent is the highest form of patriotism! * gag, koff *

Some twenty something cappuccino communist advertising "genius" with black spectacles and messy hair. You know the type.

My only thought is that John Cougar Mellancamp sucks -- always has -- always will.

Yep, is it any wonder that the big auto is racing big MSM into the the graveyard? These are afterall the same idiots who signed union contracts that anyone should have known would bankrupt them in the future.

That commercial makes me want to puke! The Chevy commercial also sucks. Dodge does ok but their trucks suck imo. I own a GMC but Toyota's are made all over the U.S. might be time to try one on my next new truck and just go pick up and old Chevy to do the rough stuff.
