The Politicization of Everything 0
Mike Littwin is taken aback by the attacks on the Chrysler commercial that aired during the Super Bowl:
This commercial is so good, I wrote, it almost makes me want to buy a Chrysler product.
Almost.
You see, I had missed what was apparently clear to many others. I thought the reason Chrysler had spent $13 million on this ad was to sell Chryslers. The reason I had reflexively come to this now-controversial conclusion was that every other Chrysler commercial I’d ever seen was about selling Chrysler products.
And, not to belabor the point, but every Ford commercial and every Chevy commercial and every Toyota commercial and every Honda commercial and every Kia-with-hip-hop-hamsters commercial I’d ever seen was about the same thing. I thought maybe I’d spotted a trend.
