One of my all-time favorite car commercials.

I know lots of jalops like this ad, but I hate it. I guess its from being in video production and marketing.
why are they running away from a car?
why do only 3 cars exist during the revolution?
Its funny they don't make mention of the fact that the charger, challenger and 300 all started life as E-class mercs and have German transmissions.
But the biggie for me, its just to "mercia" for me, I mean it might as well be a bunch of b52's bombing hilter with apple pies. I love my country, but I don't need to be pandered to to remember why.
reminds me of this

I don't think America got freedom right. Y'know, Patriot Act, bullshit laws, bible belt and shit.

Couldn't agree with you more. Too bad they build the car in Canada.

They are running from the car because George Washington is in it and is going to kick their ass.
I think they limited the number of cars predominantly for production costs. However, if I try to rationalize a fantastical commercial I would say that there are a limited number of cars for the same reason not everyone in the continental army didn't have a horse.
I've never been one to think something was too American however this is clearly a matter of personal opinion. I've always wanted the American brands to play up their American roots more in their ads, but I understand that it only appeals to a select slice of the population. I like your B-52 and apple pie idea- not sure how you'd turn it into a car commercial though.
The one thing I do agree with you with is that these cars are not that American. It doesn't really bother me that they are an old Merc design. However the fact that they are built in Canada and (on certain models) have a german transmission does.

You don't think religious freedom is freedom somehow? They may be an extreme part of the curve in terms of opinion, but their right to believe that way IS freedom. Ignoring the others for sake of argument (or lack thereof)

Personally, I like this version better.
You have to have audio to get it, and NSFW due to language.

I have nothing against their own way of thinking. My problem with the bible belt isn't their cult/spiritualism/etcetera, it's their closedmindedness and their intolerance, especially towards atheism and Islam.

closemindedness =/= no freedom.

Imposing views on others is disrespectful of freedom. And yes, I do reckon they're not the only ones, which is why I finished with "...and shit.".

You could just as easily argue that the De-religioning of America is imposing its views on religious people. There is no way NOT to impose a view on someone, but its your right to deal with it how you want. Its like arguing that the snowstorm is restricting your freedom to wear a swimsuit. no its not.
