To Chevrolet Management I abhore your choice of music in your latest Chevrolet commercial. In my mind there is nothing at all patriotic about John Mellencamp. He is an anti-war activist, a vert poor choice to represent your product as well as a treasonous bastard. When I think about all our American serviceman now locked in conflict - I doubt many will want a Chevrolet when they return to civilian life. At least I hope they won't. I am about to trade mine in on a TOYOTA! Every time I see the commercial, I want to puke. Your message to me is very clear. General Motors wants everyone to know they do not support the war effort. Believe me I get the message. Why didn't you go ahead and hire the Dixie Chicks? They toured with Mellencamp last summer in his anti-war tour.

I've no clue what you are talking about.Your rant would be better if accompanied with information.
I'll probably never see the commercial....but it sounds rather stupid. They must be facing a budget crunch and are letting the local community college create their ads.
Yes. What's the question?
Probably has something to do with this:

Seem pretty obvious, apparently John Cougar is doing Chevy commercials.
Buy a real American car. Buy a Toyota Tundra.
LOL!, another thread similar to this was posted today... its about the john mellencamp Chevy commercial... I watched it and yes, it does suck.
This belongs in General/Chat or Personal.
they could have sung it in Spanish, then we'd really go over the cliff....
I have been quietly observing the commercials that dare to latin-up their products lately - and plan to have nothing to do with them.........
think I'll stop by the Chevy dealership tomorrow....
Kudos!!
I have had Chevies since I was a kid including the Corvettes. I wrote them today telling them the one I have now will be the last because of Mellencamp. Bob Seger was alright, but that sissy Mellencamp?
Yes, you are wrong in many, many, ways.
Would you like to discuss preference of ballet shoe styles next?
That is exactly what I am talking about. Thanks for the help. Please feel free to use the link provided to complain to Chevrolet if you feel the same way. Sorry it is not a direct link.
just did....
Full quad cab, Iforce V8, gorgeous work truck... Pulls 6800 lbs, BIG discount on year end close-out, built in Indiana...
LUVIT!!
That's a pretty bizarre rant. I think if you want to boycott every product based on a one-time use in a commercial of someone you disapprove of, you'll be saving a lot of money because you won't be buying anything.
Thailand?
Anyone who buys a Chevy based on the song in the commercial deserves one.
