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?
what was that movie... ummm.. "Strange brew" HAHAHA!
"I also hate the ford commercial where the dad is "allowed" to spend the weekend with the family before the wife driving the ford drops him off at his house and drives away."
I HATE that commercial too! I'm glad I'm not the only person who has noticed how revolting it is. Who the heck are they trying to reach with that ad, beaten down divorced dads? B*tchy ex-wives? (Not that the woman in the ad is so bad, but you know what I mean). I think it is the worst ad ever, I don't even know what car it is for.
I don't know why GM would turn to some no-talent moron like this to do an ad when their "Like A Rock" (Bob Seger) ads are often recognized as the most successful advertising campaign in history.
Yep, my thought is that I will not buy a Chevy. I'll stick with Dodge Rams.
Most people won't notice the symbolism . They will think it is a patriotic move by the Chevy people . I didn't even notice till saw the ad the second time and I am well aware he is a left wing wingnut.
anyone have a link to this commercial?
That's the way I see it. Toyota/Lexus has served me well.
I'm so glad you brought that up! I HATE THAT COMMERCIAL with the Dad. It really makes me never want tobuy a Ford.
Did you see those (i think they are toyota commericals) in one, it gets hammered by a meteor and keeps going! LOL WOW! pretty neat... and in the other one it gets picked up by the lock ness monster and slammed on the shore! LOL!!! pretty cool. :)
I'll take the Nissan TITAN 4x4 off road!
Yup, I traded up for a Toyota Scion xB. Man, those things are roomy!
I had a Chevy Astro Van. Piece of c--p! 5 transmissions in 118,000 miles. Junk!
What`s worse than being Bruce Springsteen? Being someone who imitates Bruce Springsteen. That`s John "Cougar" Mellonhead for you. "Gee, let me write a song that says "small town" ten gazillion times and have MTV play it 10 gazillion times." Yeah ok, please stop, I can`t take such genius.
Defeatist - Leftist - Democrat - Socialist, same thing.
I remember the first time I heard him called that by a DJ in Maine after his second or third renaming...HA!
Baseball Hotdogs Apple Pie Chevrolet Dodge There, fixed it.
"I also hate the ford commercial where the dad is "allowed" to spend the weekend with the family before the wife driving the ford drops him off at his house and drives away."
Thank you! I thought I was nuts because no one else around me saw the sadness and reinforcement of what "second class citizens" Dads are these days in that commercial. Bet that commercial "Dad" also has the luxury of paying for that Ford and for the nice two-car attached garage it gets parked in each night while he has a fried egg on his hotplate for dinner. *Rolleyes*
WHO is in charge of Mass Marketing these days? Oh, that's right...all of those 22 year old "Mellonheads" coming out of Liberal colleges. To THEM, these images seem NORMAL because they hate America and don't have Dads as this past generation was raised by packs of femi-gnatzie, turkey-baster impregnated "wymyn."
John Mellon Cougarcamp (as my toddler son used to call him) didn't WRITE this drivel...he just lent his name & voice to it, which makes him an accomplice to this particular brand of stupidity. *Rolleyes*
Is this it on youtube? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jlKJAXPfOI&mode=related&search=
