Bastards! I hate that frieken commercial so much! I know I'm not alone...
-------------------------------------
Dear Chevrolet,
I just thought you should know, your "This is our Country" ad is over-advertised more then ANY other commercial in the history of television.
Every single frieken commercial break of most sporting events that god damn song! You have GOT to be kidding me.
It isn't even a good commercial, it's an annoying song that is bothersome after 1 or 2 listens.
In closing, I will NEVER, EVER, EVER buy a vehicle associated with your god forsaken company. I base this solely on your commercial, which forces me to mute the TV at least 2-3 times per night. Sometimes 7-10. That, is ridiculous.
-----------------------------------------

I think you may have to give them a few points for actually appearing to have read your letter and for at least responding to it...

No. GM bought the Hummer namesake, and put that godforsaken body on a suburban frame.
Not a hummer.

We are both being judgmental, the only difference is my judgments are well reasoned, well presented and actually have something to do with reality whereas yours are inane assumption wrapped in a steaming pile of contradiction.

Ok, I read the thread title... and now the goddamned song is stuck in my head! Thanks, Yoda!
lol
(Wait... Yoda... Toy-Yoda... TOYOTA! This isn't a complaint, it's a thinly veiled commercial!)
j/k dude
Edit: All the hummer stuff was posted while I was posting. Here's a site, it doesn't show my EXACT views, but it will give you an idea about how I feel about Hummers. I love HMMWV's, but civilian Hummers can kiss my ass.

I can't think on any. I have a TIVO and I never watch commercials, unless I want to.

What if you're watching the show live? I don't have a Tivo so I don't know.

I'm smart enough to not watch live TV. It's a time waster. When I have a 1/2 hour show coming on, I don't even start watching it until 10 after. Football is the best, just start watching the game an hour late, and a three hour game becomes 2 hours.
