To Chevrolet Management I abhore your choice of music in your latest Chevrolet commercial. In my mind there is nothing at all patriotic about John Mellencamp. He is an anti-war activist, a vert poor choice to represent your product as well as a treasonous bastard. When I think about all our American serviceman now locked in conflict - I doubt many will want a Chevrolet when they return to civilian life. At least I hope they won't. I am about to trade mine in on a TOYOTA! Every time I see the commercial, I want to puke. Your message to me is very clear. General Motors wants everyone to know they do not support the war effort. Believe me I get the message. Why didn't you go ahead and hire the Dixie Chicks? They toured with Mellencamp last summer in his anti-war tour.

They want too much for their trucks anyway. And, once more, it's hard to find one decked out like a truck.
Trucks DO NOT have carpet on the floor.
The engine light has always gone on and off. The brake lights on except when 4x4 is engaged.
FM radio burned out in 98 but AM works. No John Mellencamp, but Rush comes in OK.
are you a guy or girl? just asking I have a theory about jettas.
No.
LOL.. not sure..
Figures. After all, Louis Chevrolet was FRENCH.
Don't worry - I am through posting here. I haven't even been on this site for several years. It is way too complicated for an old man like me. I was just trying to bring attention to what I percieved to be a very intolerable situation and get some activism going which is why I posted here. But some have already contacted Chevrolet so I have solace in knowing that I am not alone. Next time I will just lurk like I always do and leave the posting to the real pros. (and excuse me I DINT USE SPELCHEK)
It's a 99 Wolfsburg Edition, 5 speed, all Black (except the W in the VW on the rear painted red), the squared off kind, not the girly later models. And I am a guy.
Thanks for making me look up a word I have heard, but never bothered to use.

A lot of people learn it from a bumper sticker:
ESCHEW OBFUSCATION
LOL
AHH! there goes my theory! LOL! seems like everytime i pass a Jetta a HOT FEMALE IS DRIVING IT! LOL
Hey. God bless ya, man.
Heck I don't care about your spellin'. I'm a red dirt ranger from central oklahoma and I can understand ur meanin just fine!!
Have a great one, and see ya round.
I'm aggravated at the current Burger King "full of sit" themed commercial featuring a bunch of people making a big deal out of annoyingly sitting down on weird white chairs . . or am I just dreaming (as in nightmare) this?
Am I wrong title is inviting trouble. Most people around these parts will try to prove you wrong, even if they agree with you, just for fun!
Yep. The commercial I was going to post about just came on (I'm psychic that way). It's for Macy's and the woman has some kind of accent. It's not as Spanish sounding as I'm used to, but judging from her looks, it's probably supposed to be a subtle Spanish accent. I bet she speaks Spanish in the Telemundo version of the commercial.
There's a PSA against steroids that's in Spanish and a few other that use some very Spanish-looking/sounding actors. If companies want to advertise in Spanish on the international channels, that's their business. But when I'm watching Lifetime, dammit I want to hear English!
Please don't just lurk. You have created a lot of responses and drawn attention to something most of us were not aware of...
"some biker threw a can of beer at Mellancamp, hit him in the head and knocked him cold."
I was at a Billy Idol concert in OKC, and he was rocking away punching his fist forward in his proverbial stance, and somebondy arc'ed a bottle of beer and hit him in the forehead shattering it. He starting slowly falling backward doing the windmill action with his arms to try and keep his balance but he still landed flat on his back. A few seconds later he got up and blood was pouring down his head. He said F--- you OKC, and then started throwing his fists out to the music. Crazy.
