The one commercial that made me sit up and take notice was the American Farmer commercial. I'm not buying a truck but it made you think even if it was probably just sentimental crap..

I bet we will see a fleet of pickups in a driveway in Kennilworth tomorrow.

As a person who deals with farmers on a daily basis, that commercical made me sick to my stomach.

Why?

Because it overly romanticized farmers and the agriculture industry.


They arent all hard working, earnest, salt of the earth people

Many are openly racist calculating businessmen.


Oh and 50% of workers on farms are hispanic, but you wouldnt know from that ad


I find lawyers more trusthworthy and earnest than farmers in my personal experience

What id the ad was "God made a lawyer"?

Its just silly to deify a profession like that

They are romanticizing the small, family farmer of mostly a generation ago. That speech is from the late '70s and that's the end of that era of family farmer.

As for the rest, those aren't the same farmers that I'm familiar with. The ones I know are hard-working, earnest, salt of the earth people. You aren't going to be a farmer for very long if you aren't busting your ass on a regular basis.

Nice reminder.

Ya know I was a little harsh on the farmer ad. I had a few select assholes in mind when I heard it. Im sure the farmer of yesteryear and many of today's farmers are fine people.

The problem I had with the spot was that you found out at the end the ad was promoting Dodge pickup trucks. Now if most farmers used Dodge trucks, I could see a link, but I'm sure they don't.

True. It should have been for some kind of alcohol.

Weak year for Super Bowl commercials. I did get a kick out of the Samsung commerical, if only because of Bob Odenkirk.
