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?

I bought a Plymouth Grand Voyager (1996 model) in 2001 with 97,000 miles. At 127,000 miles we had to replace the transmission. Now, at 330,000+ that same transmission is holding up nicely, thank you. All in how you take care of and service the vehicle.

I'll take the Nissan TITAN 4x4 off road!

Nice truck - but I must admit that the news about Renault owning a 44% interest in Nissan has cooled my desire for a new 350Z.

The NISSAN TITAN totally ROCKS!!! It was my first pick but I just couldn't quite afford it tho. Settled on a nice V8 Dodge Ram, low miles leather, hitch, gas hog. Sounds like a diesel, gotta love it.

Don`t you know? Anti-American liberal attacks on our nation is the in thing to do now. It gives liberals the opportunity to make pretend , emulate that they live in the `60`s to satiate their incredibly self absorbed fat effin` heads, just like liberals who lived in the 1960`s. "Nothing else matters as long as I get attention...All you need is love as long as you love me because only I can change the world"... I always laugh at when they call the 1970`s the "me generation"...Compared to the 1960`s and the 2000`s, the 1970`s came across as incredible modest although I would say the 2000`s are 1000 times more self absorbed. Only in the 2000`s could you have the likes of Paris Hilton. The self absorbtion is incredible, liberals truly believe they are Gods and can do everything including stopping psycho terrorists hell bent on destruction. What they don`t realize is we tried that route with Bill Clinton and it failed miserably. Bill Clinton knows it which is why he gets all ticked off about it.

WHO is in charge of Mass Marketing these days?

The dirty little secret of the advertising industry in America these days is that it's largely controlled by homosexuals.

I saw the commercial and had the same reaction - it was leftie crap. I thought it was weird that it showed up in a Chevy commercial.

They're pitching to their base. Do you know anyone under 60 who drives a Chevy (not truck or SUV)? I don't and I've looked around. Let's exclude the police forces and other government vehicles because they're not going Jap anytime soon for PR reasons. I do know one young person who drives a Ford Focus or I could lump Ford into this generalization too. I am not kidding.

So, that's why the theme is Anti-Americanism and Anti-Family?

If Chevrolet wants to get all patriotic, they should look at the Chrysler "The Pride is Back: Born in America" commercials again some time.

Photo of Chrysler ad on African billboard

Snip: It glibly reads, "German engineering, Swiss innovation, American nothing." The parent company of SMART, DaimlerChrysler, happens to be a "German-American" multinational corporation, so the fortwo has deeper ties to these United States than this billboard and SMART's ad agency suggest.

All part of Chevy's anti-American ad campaign blitz:

Breakdown Lane - Chevy's unlikely new pitchman (is Steve Earle) (July 28, 2005)

"The Revolution Starts Now!" was the song.

This was the album:

Lousy commie.

The revolution starts now
When you rise above your fear
And tear the walls around you down
The revolution starts here
Where you work and where you play
Where you lay your money down
What you do and what you say
The revolution starts now
Yeah the revolution starts now
