Jeep has officially paused its Bruce Springsteen ad campaign that aired during the Super Bowl following the revelation that the pro-Biden rock singer was arrested for drunk driving in November.
A spokeswoman for Jeep confirmed to CNBC that the entire campaign is on hold.
“It would be inappropriate for us to comment on the details of a matter we have only read about and we cannot substantiate,” a Jeep spokeswoman said in a statement to the cable network. “But it’s also right that we pause our Big Game commercial until the actual facts can be established. Its message of community and unity is as relevant as ever. As is the message that drinking and driving can never be condoned.”

The commercial debuted Sunday during the Super Bowl LV broadcast and has been seen by millions of additional viewers on YouTube. On Wednesday, the commercial was pulled from YouTube and other online platforms after news broke about Springsteen’s arrest.
New Jersey authorities confirmed Wednesday that Springsteen was arrested in November and faces charges including DWI, reckless driving, and consuming alcohol in a closed area.
The arrest took place at the Gateway National Recreation Area in Sandy Hook, New Jersey. Authorities said that Springsteen was cooperative during the arrest.
Mothers Against Drunk Driving has blasted state authorities for failing to reveal the arrest prior to the Super Bowl on Sunday, when tens of millions of football fans saw the high-profile commercial. The advocacy group said that the many victims of drunk driving “deserve better.”
In Jeeps’ two-minute Super Bowl commercial, titled “The Middle,” Springsteen pushes for political unity and reconciliation, urging Americans to come together in the political “middle.”

“‘66 toyota landcruiser all the way”
I’ll stick with my built and tricked CJ-7.
What’s a ‘Time’ or ‘Newsweek’???
My exact thought regarding him.
Their “Big Game” commercial?
Was the democrat prick driving a Jeep?😂
There are no more ‘jeeps’.
I’ve had my Wrangler since new in 2013. I was worried about buying a Chrysler product after working for a dealer in the late 80’s. 164k miles and its honestly been my favorite vehicle I’ve ever owned. Disappointed with Jeep for the ad, and the poser doesn’t speak for me and many of my Jeep friends who are ex military, fire and police. Their ad should have been Willy Nelson singing the “Picture in a Frame” because I’m gonna love it til the wheels come off-hopefully not too soon!
“...the beach was full of the most disgusting people you can imagine...”
Well that fits Springhead.
Hey Bruce! A new song title for ya, “Driving Drunk in the USA”.
I wonder who the former marketing genius at Jeep was who went with the stool sample Springscum for it’s ad?
Just posted the same before seeing yours..and as a new song title for him, too, like yours.
“Born in the USSR...”
That headline made me bust out laughing!
He’s a bit of an idiot, for sure.
But what “political middle “ are they talking about in the ad? The one where we force the entire country to go as far left as possible and then “re-educate” anyone who doesn’t walk in lock-step?
The “middle” simply does not exist! It’s a huge chasm!
‘72 here.
He’s as phony as it gets
All those “cool” LOOKITME faces on his videos.
They deserve it for trying to scam us with that commie pos springprick unity message in the first place.
Does Chrysler itself actually make any more Jeeps in the US?
“ Brawndo has got electrolytes.”
Lockers front and rear, two gas tanks, two spare tires, lifted, NV4500 transmission, chevy 350 fuel injected, body lift, rhino lined inside and out, every wire pulled with a brand new modern power distribution, power steering, disc brakes front and rear, on board air with 2.5 liter tank, on board power inverter, reversing shackles. I can drive on the roughest of roads In total comfort without teeth chattering (like my buddies CJ), go up the steepest of hills in third gear, get out and walk alongside the car going down the steepest of hills and drive on the freeway at 90mph in total comfort. I can put the windshield down by pulling 2 latches, and I have reupholstered the seats, and gotten rid of all rust. I also isolated the stuff that is responsible for running the engine such that you can just about destroy the entire power distribution system, and it will still run and you can bypass even that if necessary as well as the entire power system for anything in accessories will shut down if the battery voltage drops too low, oh, there is a backup battery
I will take the landcruiser, thank you, lol
He’s pretty dumb if he didn’t disclose this to them.
They’re probably happy, people HATED that ad. And not just right wingers. Now they an excuse to get rid of it.
