And your caged-bird logo is still idiotic.
"We build Mazdas. What do you drive?" ha ha. I'm meant to aspire to a Mazda after they themselves crushed this funky and jubilant montage under the marketing-speak "Sky-Activ philosophy"? To answer your challenge, Mazda, I drive a turbocharged 4-cylinder screamer of a car that got a very poor grade in philosophy.
I think Ray aims to be a journalist.
Or, to put it a third way: If the political hacks are demonstrating the precise divisiveness that Eastwood warns against in the ad, and you are being similarly divisive by calling those people idiots, how is your point different from the hacks, or valid? Just because you don't align yourself with a party doesn't mean you're not bludgeoning us with your own politics.
Maybe you meant this article to be purely ironic?
Totally. Look at those conservative idiots who wouldn't even discuss the unconstitutionality of a health care law that is now deemed unconstitutional. What idiots!
Those were conservatives who made that law, right? I don't have that backwards or anything, do I?
Ray-
Sorry: Did you just quote yourself in your own article? And by doing so, attempt to show your superior sense of perspective to David Axelrod, Karl Rove, and anyone who agrees with them? And did you try to demonstrate that superior perspective by describing your point of view on the purely subjective issue of interpreting a TV advertisement?
Put another way, do you have in your kitchen a pot and a kettle that are both black? What would you think if one disdainfully called the other "black?"
Ford, how many times do you have to watch this play out before you learn the lesson? If you demand a competitor's ad be pulled, it makes you look scared of what the ad says. Splitting hairs to "make your point" isn't making a point at all. All's you've done is make Chevy trucks look great and make yourselves look inferior. If you wanted to knock down Chevy's claim, than you should have done so in the same arena where Chevy through down the gauntlet, the arena of public opinion. Instead, you called in the lawyers like a bunch of sissies. Your trucks are probably sissies, too.
Ironically, the most disappointing part of this ad is that VW is advertising the same car as it did during last year's Superbowl.
All the more reason to try something new. Jalopnik is better than the hackneyed Daily Show.
For instance, take my falling-asleep joke. No one's ever thought of that before.
"To keep this apolitical... we'll just say the idea was put out there by the candidate most resembling Bibendum, the bulbous, white mascot of the Michelin tire company."
Oh, I see, you're being coy, like when Jon Stewart started doing that 10 (15?) years ago. Yeah, still good for laughzzzzzzzzzzzz
Only because we will never have a Ferris Bueller sequel, that was truly awesome.
If you look really closely you can see the little pricks.
So what you're saying is that this mass-produced car will fit 90% of humans?
READ ALL ABOUT IT!
You lucky sumovabitch.
As a former Mini S driver, I hate this car and it's coupe sister?. Mini could have made something awesome with these even-smaller Minis, and instead they did the least amount of work needed to kinda-convincingly call these different models. They're lazy. They're too heavy. And they are flagrantly unoriginal cars from a company that used to pride itself on success through innovation. Give me a Veloster over these any day.
I really like the 130R. Aren't we Jalops always bemoaning the lack of small rear-wheel-drive cars? I love an American competitor to the BRZ. I like the tall greenhouse that looks like it will be easy to see out of (anyone who's sat in a Camaro knows what I'm talking about), and nothing is more fun than driving an entertaining car that doesn't cost a fortune to fill up.
As for the 140S: An American FWD four-seat coupe is the antithesis of exotic. That's a humiliating assertion. Only the people who came up with that tagline are thoughtless enough to believe it.
Amen. It's French!
I'm from Jersey, I love Jersey, and I'm always the first one to defend my state. So on behalf of New Jersey, yeah, our bad. We messed up.
... but it was only a BMW. An automatic. And, as he was antagonizing the officers, he's probably that very special kind of BMW driver who we all know and hope something like this happens to them.
Ha ha ha That was really good. Weee
I had forgotten about that. That is so fucking cool, and all the more so for being in a Chevy.
