One for you...One for me.

TV on for the pre-game show before NFL game.

This commercial, which they play over and over and over, only makes me determined to never buy a GM product.

Are people that easily influenced?

That doesn't even scratch the surface of most egregious car ads. This one should have ruined the entire brand. It has to be seen to be believed - The Age of Aerostar done to the tune of Age of Aquarius. The Malais years were a dark time.




Besides, a wife that petite but butch enough to demand the big truck is kind of sexy.

Simple solution...don't watch NFL games.

What good can result from an attack like this?

Don't watch many political ads, huh?

I want to see the one where he tells her to GTFO because she bought him a lame ass gift and then has the nerve to take his truck. But he always rolls over like a little sissy.

What constitutes the "attack" you're referring to? I've seen the ad, but saw no attack.

Maybe I should have written 'assault on our senses'
Sorry about that.

I'm still not getting what you're driving at. What about that ad assaulted your senses?

Is it just the fact that the ad runs so often?

He thinks it makes the guy look like a wimp which he takes as an attack on men. I think it makes the woman look hot to climb into the big truck. I guess it’s all in your perspective.
