It's Halftime in America

I wanted to share one of my favorite commercials of last night's Super Bowl, a Chrysler commercial called "It's Halftime in America." I have loved Chrysler's recent string of commercials despite the fact that I think they appeal more to the 'American spirit' and Detroit as a city being 'reborn' rather than Chrysler itself. This commercial has caused quite a political controversy, and you can read about it on almost any major news site. (Here is MSNBC's article and here is one from CBS).

Some highlights from the articles:

• "Your take on the ad? And do you think Coke’s polar bears pose a threat to our northern borders? And is GoDaddy.com not the paragons of feminism they may have been previously thought to be?" (the MSNBC article)
• "Saving the America Auto Industry: Something Eminem and Clint Eastwood can agree on." (White House communications director Dan Pfeiffer) (the CBS article)
