    If you hate the melencamp song, you're not a patriot and true american!!!

    Yes, I'm sick to death of that song. What a fuckin sell out. I'm sure the people involved in 9/11, hurricane katrina and rosa parks really enjoy seeing their moments played out to hoch trucks.

    It's rare that a commercial really pisses me off, but this one has managed it. It gets the ol' mute button every time it plays.

    i'm with you, talk about a sellout, there is no way he could possibly justify that shit- images of hurricane katrina victims and then a shot of the new 2007 chevy whatever...........terrible.........i go to a bar every sunday to chill and this commercial comes at me from 20 different TVs about once every 30 seconds..........ugh..........this is one of those things i was thinking about and you brought it up before i did

    it's a bit overplayed...

    but I gotta admit, I'm confused as to why people think Mellencamp is to blame for the images used in the commercial...did he direct the commercial too??

    and lastly, I don't find it offensive either...and yea, I sing along to the song too.

    it isn't a BIT overplayed it's fuckin WAY OVERPLAYED dude... and I'm sure that Mellencamp knew how his song would be used especially since it came out in that stupid commercial WEEKS before it was released to the public,

    c'mon i've tried and I still can't masturbate to that commercial...now the Toyota commercial with Iron Man...now that's where I can rub one off.

    Three of John Cougar's biggest hits in the 80's were about small town America and now he's desperately trying to revive his dead career again. I wish he'd just get back on the tractor and shut the fuck up. What a disgrace. I hope they play it on country stations that hicks listen to and not the rock stations because it will drive me crazy.

    Even worse is a commercial that they play here in PA for New Jersey tourism. It has a Bon Jovi song in it - "who says you can't go back, been all around the world and that's a natural fact - there's only one place left I wanna gooooow - who says you KEEN'T Gooow hoooome." It has people dancing through meadows and jumping into lakes and walking on boardwalks and shit - It's so fucking bad.

    Bon Jovi also makes an appearance in an Duracell battery commercial. "If you thought all batteries were the same - CONSIDER THIS - Bon Jovi only uses Duracell batteries when they take the stage" and it shows Bon Jovi rocking out and the crowd going apeshit while Jon croons into a cordless microphone with a Duracell battery in it. What is the point? Bon Jovi uses Duracell, so I guess I should too?

    As if commercials weren't insulting enough to our intelligence, now they want us to do what Bon Jovi does and go where Bon Jovi goes.

    its so funny. its probably one of the worst things ive ever seen. its so horribly racist notice how no miniorities are in it and we hear this is our country over and over. This is our truck.
  • snowrider04snowrider04 Posts: 44
    great song...and a hell of a pick-me-up commercial too.

    when you keep singing to yourself, "this is my country," does this mean you've heard it way too much.

    I also can't help but think of Brian the Dog from Family Guy saying to Quagmire, "isn't there an O in country?" kills me every time!

    This sucker has more cheese than Velveeta:

    I can stand beside
    Things I think are right
    And I can stand beside
    The idea of stand and fight
    And I do believe
    There’s a dream for everyone
    This is our country
    From the east coast
    To the west coast
    Down the Dixie Highway
    Back home
    This is our country

    There's room enough here
    For science to live
    And there's room enough here
    For religion to forgive
    And try to understand
    The other people of this world
    This is our country
    From the east coast
    To the west coast
    Down the Dixie Highway
    Back home
    This is our country

    That poverty could be
    Just another ugly thing
    And bigotry could be
    Seen only as obscene
    And the ones that run this land
    Will help the poor and common man
    This is our country
    From the east coast
    To the west coast
    Down the Dixie Highway
    Back home
    This is our country

    The dream will never leave
    And some day it will come true
    And it’s up to me and you
    To do the best that we can do
    And let the voice of freedom
    Sing out through this land
    This is our country
    From the east coast
    To the west coast
    Down the Dixie Highway
    Back home
    This is our country

    Yeah, the Colts game was brutal. Especially during the first half. I think my mute button might be broken after last night. He never really bothered me until this never ending commercial. He was involved in the Vote For Change Tour and he's always supported other good causes like Farm Aid. But he's completely lost me in the last month with this awful commercial. I wonder if this might officially destroy his career. He's ticked off the fringe fans like myself and he already lost the Red State fans when he contributed to the Vote For Change tour. Who are his fans now? Chevy Truck owners and a few farmers? He's done.
