Vanity: John Cougar's "Our Country" Chevy Commercial

Posted on 10/05/2006 1:48:52 PM PDT by slowhand520

Anyone else peeved as I am at this nonsense? I am assuming it is a patriotic song. The images you see during this commercial are Vietnam War protestors, the peace sign, Nixon waving goodbye before he gets on his helicopter, and Katrina flooding. What a depressing commercial. Kind of defeatist if you ask me. Thoughts?

Yes, believe it or not, it's supposed to create a patriotic pride in potential buyers...

Chevy wants to sell cars to Americans by bashing America?

Well, I guess if Ford wants to sell to gays Chevy can sell to Democrats.

Add "California burning" to that list of feel-good images.

Go Ford Go

John Couger is a leftist has been. No wonder GM is doing so poorly when it uses anti-American liberals in it commercials highlighting left wing attacks on our nation.

It's got a shot of Alan Shepard golfing on the Moon, so I am willing to forgive a multitude of sins.

Reminds me of those stupid Bennetton ads (sp?).

They killed that clothing line.

And gimme a Jimmy any day. In fact I have one. 3/4 ton, full crew cab, will pull anything. Yeah.

I saw it - and was instantly revolted - the exact opposite type of response I assume Chevy is hoping for from an American car loyalist -

I hate that commercial, I also hate the ford commercial where the dad is "allowed" to spend the weekend with the family before the wife driving the ford drops him off at his house and drives away.
