It\u2019s football season and that means it\u2019s the only time of year that I\u2019m watching the same television programming as guys who like Sarah Palin. If you\u2019ve got 180 seconds to kill and you want a concise, entertaining glimpse at the American collective unconscious, here were the three most outstanding ads of the day\u2026<\/p>\n
Dodge Challenger Freedom:<\/strong> Bo and Luke Duke drove a Dodge Challenger too, just like George Washington. They called it The General Lee<\/a> because, you know, General Robert E. Lee was all about freedom \u2014 unless you happened to be the property of a Southern plantation owner. Electric cars? High speed rail? Let the Chinese figure out that shit<\/a>. Because \u201cHere\u2019s a coupla things America got right: Cars and freedom.\u201d Yes, they actually came right out and said it. The only way this ad could be more brilliant is if it\u2019s airing during NBC\u2019s new show, \u201cOutsourced<\/a>.\u201d Incidentally, Chrysler is now owned by Italians<\/a>. Watch\u2026<\/p>\n
\nPerhaps you are unaware of this piece of American history. Just a few years after the original Boston Tea Party, George Washington led his Continental Army into battle against the British Red Coats on a winter day somewhere near Lake Tahoe. The snobby, elitist looks were wiped right off the British officers\u2019 faces as they saw the Americans charging over the hill with their 475 horsepower, 6.4 liter HEMI\u2019s, rocking 11 miles per gallon.<\/p>\n
