What a pantload! And to think I used to like ol' Klint... Rwanda on the Rouge sucks. The inhabitants are proud of the fact their newest industry is farming. But for fuck sake, FIAT owns 58% of Chysler, so quit it with bullshit of this being an Amerikan company already!



The spot is supposed to be encouraging, as it focuses on the resilience of Detroit. "It's halftime. Both teams are in their locker room discussing what they can do to win this game in the second half,"Eastwood says in the spot. "It's halftime in Amerika, too. People are out of work and they're hurting. And they're all wondering what they're going to do to make a comeback. And we're all scared, because this isn't a game. The people of Detroit know a little something about this. They almost lost everything. But we all pulled together, now Motor City is fighting again."

Whahahahaha!!!!! Now bow down to you're new Ginzo masters.

But contrary to what the might ad suggest, the spot was actually filmed in New Orleans and Los Angeles. "Yes, part of it was filmed in New Orleans . . . and some was filmed in various parts such as Los Angeles, Dianna Gutierrez said. She specifically points to the tunnel scenes as being taken at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, while the stadium shots were in New Orleans.

Asked whether any part of the ad was filmed in Detroit, Gutierrez said that previously taken footage from various parts of the Motor City was used. No image of Detroit was shot for the specific use in this ad.

Didn't want to run the risk of a chimpout. Shiny cameras an' shit.

"Detroit's Turin's showing us it can be done. And, what's true about them is true about all of us," Eastwood says in the ad. "This country can't be knocked out with one punch. We get right back up again and when we do the world is going to hear the roar of our engines. Yeah, it's halftime Amerika. And, our second half is about to begin."

I wonder what Italy's version of Deathtroit is?

Yet, while Detroit's comeback might be the message of Eastwood's ad, its physical imagery comes from New Orleans and Los Angeles.

Chrysler took bailout money didn't they? I thought Clint was a libertarian. They are supposed to be against that sort of thing.

I like Clint, always will, but I thought the ad for Chrystler was BS! Should have been for FORD! They are the ones that showed Obambi and his Horde of Demons how it is truly done, the American Way! When they took the bailout money, I swore I would never buy another GM as long as I live!
