After Barack Obama saved GM, how dare they? Pretty provocative ad, in any case. I ascribe to the dictum that advertising is the antennae of US culture. I can't remember who said it...maybe it was Marshall McLuhan.

LOL... When that add ran during the SB, I couldn't believe it was real. It plays like a SNL parody of "real Amurica". Unintentionally high larious. Then, you realize- Cadillac HAS to lay it on with a trowel, to compensate, because... the add is for an ELECTRIC CAR!!! How f****gty can you get???
Yes, the ad's a classic... but not for reason you think.

What is " f****gty ?" I googled to find words ending in 'gty' and was told, Sorry! Could not find any words!
Hilarious, tongue-in-cheek ad. I really liked it but just for our less educated, conservative posters, here is a little trivia from Forbes:
In 2010, Germany produced more than 5.5 million automobiles; the U.S produced 2.7 million. At the same time, the average auto worker in Germany made $67.14 per hour in salary in benefits; the average one in the U.S. made $33.77 per hour. Yet Germany’s big three car companies—BMW, Daimler (Mercedes-Benz ), and Volkswagen—are very profitable.
I am waiting for the conservative outrage that Germans can be more successful than Americans, while paying auto workers twice as much. And taking August off, too.
