that Clint Eastwood Super Bowl ad people are crapping themselves over…
Monday, 6. February 2012
Clint Eastwood did a very ineffective commercial from car company; this commercial is probably the most talked about from the Super Bowl, but people aren’t talking about the car, they’re talking about how this was some plant spot for the Obama administration. It’s being called a campaign ad.
Chrysler Group LLC CEO Sergio Marchionne says the company’s two-minute Super Bowl ad was not meant to be a political endorsement.
Marchionne told WJR radio in Detroit on Monday morning that the ad “brought a huge amount of pride back from Detroiters” and “we probably deserve it… after all the stuff that we’ve gone through.”
“It has zero political content,” Marchionne said. “It was not intended to be any type of political overture on our part. We are as apolitical as you can make us… I wasn’t expressing a view and certainly nobody inside Chrysler was attempting to influence decisions.”
The White House applauded the spot, but it doesn’t seem like they had anything to do with it. This is the same company that did that two-minute commercial with Eminem during last year’s Super Bowl. But it’s a campaign year, so any chance for politicians to latch on to any thing they think will get them in the news with their own messages, they’ll take it.
On a side note, I’d like to bare-knuckle box Clint Eastwood. He’d definitely beat me straight-up, but I think it’d be close good fight. And I fight dirty – after getting knocked down the first time, I would grab some sand as I got back up and throw it in his eyes.
