The Apocalypse theme seems particularly apt though, since an economic wasteland is what Obama is leaving for America. The Barry Manilow song makes the whole ad sound gay.
Watch the ad here:

Super Bowl chuckle for the Prepper Ping List gang...
i HATED this commercial. First it looked like 9-11...then it had TWINKIES co-branding with GM, then it put down FORD> SCREW GOVERNMENT MOTOTS and the idiots that BUT their cars!!
The Manilow music made it even weirder.
Disclaimer: With the exception of my “fun” classic car..I have always driven a Chevy truck. I'll be switching to Ford for my next, and hopefully last purchase.
Dad coached football for almost 40 years as well as playing it in HS and in the 20th AF, and when it comes to the sport he has been around the block. My dad's comment on the pre-game show was "These people are making themselves look like dumb-asses."
Mr. niteowl77
Is that some twisted attempt at humor?
Go Ford!
Go away GM and GE!
Go away OWS!
Go away Progressives!
Go away Obama!
HA HA yeah, they down play their obamanomics associantions, but bend their knee for their $?,000,000.00 bonuses from nobama. At least Ford is still a “private corporation”, not government owned.
Actually wondering why anybody would buy anything that is advertised on the Super Bowl! After all, if they were already successful, they would not need the advertising... If they weren’t successful, they must be really bad anyway.
As to GM, I’m really surprised that they would spend this kind of money to try to change the public’s mind - way too late, they are Government Motors and they can NOT change! Go you corrupt Unions - GO!
Ford - probably a good advertisement for them here...heh.
Maybe I'll get a new vehicle in the Gingrich administration.
GM attacking Ford is like the U.S. Government attacking private businesses. Oops! Wait a minute.... Like someone else said, that ad IS “gay”.
It was a cheap shot during the Super Bowl. Never buy Obama Motors.
Pray for America
If I was Ford I’d start running that ad where the buyer talks about wanting to buy Ford because they were not bailed out.
And keep running it forever.
Did I pay for that ad?
manilow was a shout out to the fagot in chief.
LLS
Ford gets the ‘stupid’ award for objecting and making a big deal out of it. They need to can everyone that was involved in that decision making.
As for me, I buy cars made in America - like Hyundai.
The SuperBowl was befouled by the stench of ads from GE, GM, and Chrysler.
Three democrat party companies I will NEVER purchase a product from.
I asked one my Ford "gnomes" who was their why not run some funny add's that evicorate the Volt.
The answer was no, not their style....
But they said they will however try to beat them with better product which means better sales.
I'll say it again, watch the Fusion "Energi" vs. the Volt.
My predictions on what the Fusion would be were spot on, I follow Ford and I get how the set the bar high and shoot for best in class.
The Energi once compared to the Volt will be like comparing a Trablant to a Shelby Cobra...
If the Obama Apocalypse occurs, we’ll have a real-life chance to see which truck is better.
f'em... Volt, Vette', Caddy, whatever.... keep them, put the out of work union pot-smoking/beer swilling assembly workers in them as condos. Park them in the newly "rebounding" Detroit... I hear that land is cheap.
Only quisling traitors would buy anything from Government Motors.
