The story on this is that some Mommy organization complained that it condoned street racing and GM pulled the ad. Had nothing to do with the gov't or censorship or anything else. I'm sure GM could've continued to run the ad had they wished, but I'm sure it gets just as much attention on the internet because of it.
That being said, I'm sure the mommy group are all liberals. Anyone who thinks this ad should have been pulled is a wuss.

I love that word!
I myself am sick of the pussification of this country and all the Liberal A$$****S that destroyed it. What the hell happened to America? Seems like everyone has to make a statement...be a treehugger and open their mouth on some topic. Why don't people just shut up and mind their own business. Anyone ever been to Europe? Ever watch tv there? It's great. There really is no censorship. If you don't like it...turn the damn tube off and seclude your little kiddies into isolation to become clamshelled little freaks!
ok...thanks...I feel better now....

Can't say the conservatives are any better, though, scootin.
Been to the airport much lately?
Whenever I have to go on a plane I wear MOCASSINS! They don't ask me to take those off. It's basically a piece of leather wrapped around my foot. However, I can get away with wearing them because I'm Cherokee.

As far as the mocassins...good idea. But I hope your not one of those guys who wears their socks with their sandals.

I think a pic of you in the socks and sandals would make a GREAT avatar Kal. Go for it.

Well put.
I have seen it before and enjoyed watching it again (twice).
Actually I was telling my girlfriend ( who has never seen it) about the commerical a couple weeks ago. So now I will show her your thread.
THANKS

Maybe you just love to look at your own writings and opinions???
Either way, I am happy that some of you enjoyed the ad.

It was a good ad, though not as good as the 2001 billboard with a bright-red '63 coupe and the words "they don't write songs about Volvos."
Not that Corvette needs to advertise much, but they should definately play up the "legacy" angle.

Sorry...My bad!
Exception to the socks rule:
Kalway.....he seems to be keeping it to his driveway/garage to go get the groceries...so I can let that slide...
But if I ever come over you better have the same booze flowing!
