Random rant of the Day

[joshuadusarmy]

Been thinking this for some time, ever since the first commercial debut during the super bowl that lasted seemingly 3 mins, but these Chevy truck commercials are driving me nuts... for example the latest one..."a man", "a man and his son, who would rather play computer games than go camping", "and a valley", blah blah blah.....or the lost calf or whatever stupid narrative....anyone else or am I alone? LOL

GM Trucks has only ever used 3 types type of marketing campaign for the American Consumer.

1. Flag Waving - You are not Free unless you are in the USA (which is simply not true) "Like A Rock"
2. Some weird-@$$ Cowboy behaviour
3. Mud - GM Trucks love to show mud flying.

They really are playing on simpleton behaviour.

Well every F-150 ad I've ever seen sells it on "EVERYONE ELSE BUYS THIS TRUCK YOU SHOULD TOO!" which I think is more simple than mud.

Ford F-150 has been the best half-ton truck ever produced. Americans don't get the Winters that Canada gets. Chevy Trucks are rust buckets and barely last 5 years on the Prairies before they completely rust out.

OK truck for child's weather, but garbage in extreme weather, they simply do not hold up at all.

I live in Silverton, you don't have real Winter anywhere in the State, not even on the NE border with Idaho. People here kill me when they talk about Winter. Oregon in Winter is like Palm Springs compared to Manitoba, and Saskatchewan

Saskatchewan and Manitoba a 55 mph is a daily Winter wind combined with -35-40 Below zero. Try that on for size. Trust me, Oregon does not have anything resembling a harsh Winter.
