Is anyone else here sick and tired of the over-the-top, ultra-sappy Chevy ads featuring Mellencamp's 'My Country'? We see it at least 12 times during each NFL game. Its like getting hit in the head with a brick repeatedly. Its supposed to get us all sentimental and emotional, remind us all what a wonderful country we live in, remind us of the great struggles in our nation's past... and convince us to buy a truck? What the F#%K?
Now I will not get into the debate about which brand of vehicles is better... I really don't give a rats ass. But there needs to be some way to make this relate to sports, other than the football edition of the ad that sometimes airs during Sunday night games. And when it comes to car makers and football, FORD clearly plays a bigger role than Chevy. Specifically, the Detroit Lions. Ford Field. You get the point.
Now some of you will be quick to point out that FORD is the oldest name in automobiles, and one of the oldest names in the NFL... The FORD was a pioneer in both. And some of you will be quick to point out that the Lions function about as well as thier automobiles... meaning they both need serious redesign.
Some day the Lions will fire Matt Millen and begin to turn things around. Until then, we will just have to settle for ultra-cheesy ads and videos to remind us that there is always hope for a better life....
