if they don't stop playing those chevy john mellencamp ads soon (every fucking football game) i'm going to throw my head through the TV ... can you believe they're actually using rosa parks to sell fucking trucks to white dudes?! she rode the fucking bus!!
 
 truck ads pander to the worst kind of jingoistic simple-minded machismo

the one where toby kieth plays his guitar while in the power stance as hes pulling down a shack and building a house with his bare hands, cutting 2x4s with a miter saw.  god, that is so manly, now i want a ford truck.

according to stephen colbert, if mr. goodwrench was a tool he'd be a miter saw.

i wish carl's jr. would play the original version of the "smoke my sausage" commercial with the soldier.  
 
 it reminds me of when chrysler ran the concorde commercial in the late 90s and the mom was explaining to her daughter why she was named savannah- because that's where we conceived you. . and the daughter looks back to her baby sister and says, well, why's her name concord?  the mom doesn't answer, and the girl looks on the dash and sees "concorde" and says, "gross!!"  the "gross" line was taken out and replaced with mom (unseen) saying "for concord, new hampshire, silly."  so disappointing.

This is off topic, but has anyone seen some car commercial that uses The Fall's "Blindness"?
