Rising Hegemon
During the USA/England match yesterday...I must have been out by the grill, or taking a leak ... or maybe, being an American, doin' both simultaneously. But this is both hilarious and disturbingly American at the same time (sort of like a heavy-handed British parody of America in a way). 0:39 to 0:43 or so is awesome.
Thanks to Thers for informing me of it.

That was funny. Ridiculous but funny.
...or you could be pissing on the grill, as the dual citizen troll is so often compelled to do.
Since the usual thing is to juxtapose your product with images that show that it will give you sex appeal, associating it with freedom is perhaps a change for the better.
But I'd add that if we weren't addicted to cars, we wouldn't be continuously at war in Iraq, so I'm not sure that the association holds up.
They sure can't sell the Challenger based on performance (total wuss compared to Mustang and Camaro), and if I wanted a car that looks like a Ford Mustang, I'd buy a Ford Mustang. So I guess patriotism is also the last refuge of marketing. Cool, considering that Chrysler is mostly foreign-owned.
Idiocy squared, makes no sense, sells mistruth. Guess it'll work for the Smell Gibson Republican crowd.
Using patriotism to sell is very American, it's what we do to sell all our bad decisions... wrap that sucker in a flag, it'll sell...
but it's also possible that their ad team is mocking the teabaggers... since in most of their "rallies" some of those asshats dress up as red coats...
more rite wing revisionism.
george washington was lucky the British general sucked too.
benefitting from a soft goal works too!!!
