MLK would have no problem selling trucks, or stealing them for that matter.

As for those bitching about someone using one of MLK’s speaches, why not? MLK himself stole the words from someone else!

I saw the Ad also. I (and everyone in the room with me) thought that interposing the “GMC” logo throughout the Ad was demeaning to the message itself, even using MLK it was demeaning to his message. NOW, if they had just done the entire Ad without interposing the “GMC” logo throughout the Ad and at the very very end just propped up a silent “GMC” ad to signify that they were in support of the message of “service”, then it would have been more appropriate.

Oh, so that’s why the thugs in Philly looted the Macy’s store and others after the game. We just thought they were stealing stuff.

Dodge does not make pickups.

Ram is its iwn brand now, separated from Dodge nearly 10 years ago.

I fail to see what’s so offensive about this.

Anybody that expected Super Bowl commercials to be in good taste should’ve known better the instant they discovered Justin “Equipment Malfunction” Timberlake was invited back to perform at halftime.

“MLK is turning over in his grave. To think that he is hawking for Ram truck sales is disgraceful”

Whats wrong with Ram trucks?
I prefer Ford, but Dodge is an ok brand as well.

I don’t necessarily picture MLK driving around in his Dodge truck however!

I thought it was a great commercial. You will notice however, that the left will mock and ridicule and of MLK’s sermons.

My favorite was the Tide Commericial.

infuriated many viewers by invoking the voice of Martin Luther King Jr. to sell pickup trucks
No worse than commercials that tout no end of krap while exclaiming, "Happy Memorial Day!"

I’m not too keen on that Washington crossing the Delaware Turnpike ad to sell insurance either. What’s next,President Lincoln peddling cars or pasta?

Gee. I didn’t catch a bit of that garbage. I didn’t watch a thing that had ANY connection to the Kneeler Bowl.
