If you’ve learned anything from Super Bowl XLVI so far, it’s that driving a Ford will get you killed when the apocalypse comes.
Unsurprisingly, this spot from Chevy is already generating the most controversy. In it, a man drives through a post-apocalyptic landscape and finds the only survivors are fellow Chevy drivers. Their friend, sadly, drove a Ford and is dead.

Heh, makes me feel glad I just got a 1999 Chevy Blazer to replace my old 1994 Ford Explorer. B-)

Silly people! Controversial ads are the ones that get remembered.
To: WilliamIII
Ford needs to bring back the commercial with the genuine Ford buyer saying he wouldn’t support a company which got a government bailout.

This is the theme of "Left Behind". There the good people are sucked up away from Earth in what is called "The Rapture". The evil people are left behind.
So, the variation here is that All The Chevy People Are Evil and All The Ford People Are Swept Up To Heaven?
Hmm.

The other Chevy commercial showed a chevy parachuting from an airplane, bungee jumping, playing a giant musical instrument, etc. Yeah, all things I look for in a vehicle.

No biggie, besides I would never drive a Chevy anyway. It is sad we paid all that money for those commercials..

Just another big socialism, government attack on the private sector.
The imagery is ironic. Total destruction, bankrupt twinkies, and government motors.
Yep.
Sigh.

Who would want to be safe in a world with 4 other guys and one of them a Twinkie.

The box of Twinkies in perfect condition was a nice touch.

I just bought a 2012 Lincoln MKX and never again will a GM product occupy a place in my garage.
