Chevy spot already front-runner for most controversial ad
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | February 5 2012 | Katie Dowd

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.

It looked like to me that it was supposed to reflect all of the varied "doomsday" movies that have come down the road. There were volcanoes, asteroid strikes, a giant mechanical monster, a crashed flying saucer, and all of the like.

The falling frogs at the end were a nice touch though ...

The falling frogs was at the end of the motion picture called Magnolia, staring a number of movie stars.

I figured it was filmed in Deadtroit.

You mean, Detwat.

Union workers forgot to install them!

Are you sure that's correct? I read on The Truth About Cars dot com that the front end module is assembled at a non union supplier.

LOL!
The commercial was funny!

I drive an old beater car amidst a lot of pick up trucks on my route to work, early morning, every work day.
They are mostly all F150s or F250s.
That I know the difference between two Ford models says it all.

Other than that, and color, I can identify vehicles as cars vs trucks vs vans and SUVs.

I doubt Ford will do anything in retaliation, but it would be SO funny if they did something like that.

Yeah, the Obammy gestapo would be their panties in a bunch over that.

Better scene to pan too: Ford truck in background, “Dave” sitting in front of a campfire roasting marshmellows and saying to a group of Hooters quality gals, “well girls, looks like the chevys didn’t make it”. Of course, he would have a devilish grin on his face.
