My comment: Your Chevy truck commercial with Mellencamp really stinks. I like it when companies infuse politics in their ads. It helps me determine from whom to buy. Chevy, is NOT a company I'll buy from because of your "American Loser" ad campaign. Sincerely, IC
Dear IC,
Thank you for contacting the Chevrolet Customer Assistance Center. We appreciate you taking the time to write us in regards to our Chevrolet truck commercial with John Mellencamp.

We regret any misinterpretation of this commercial.

What Mellencamp song did they use?
a new one he wrote called Our Country
I'm curious to see this commercial...
Our Country
I hope this doesn't mean I have to get rid of my Silverado.
am i the only one who has seen it?
WTF??? The "essence" they show is America losing and America being torn apart. Some essence. I've bought Ford SUVs the past 10 years and am pissed at them sucking up to the homo lobby. Maybe it's time to switch to Toyota or Nissan.
Toyota trucks are made in America, Indiana I believe, home of John Cougar.
Seen it. A lefty's view of American history... very unAmerican
It's on YouTube. Ignore the joke about Colbert splashed on it. It's not in the tv ad.

Did they give you a 10% discount voucher?
I am not following you...
Tundras are made in Princeton IN. Toyota will build the 2007s in San Antonio and Princeton.
Well, Nissan's now giving benefits to queer "partners" so they'll be down the same hole as GM before long, I imagine.
It's the ad where half the US is burning and the other half is drenched under flood waters, correct?
This ad appears to be directed at the "Dixie Chicks" segment of the truck buying public.
I'm overseas. I don't see current commericals. Is it a pre-election hit? Is it sublte or is it blatant?
