Am I the only one who finds it VERY DISRESPECTFUL to depict George Washington driving a car on a Revolutionary War (yes, Revolutionary War for those of you who went to public school) battle field in a cheap ploy to try to sell cars around the Fourth of July? Is that what freedom means to you? If that is all the more seriously we take our Independence, our freedoms, our history, and country in general, then maybe the dire condition our country is in is all we deserve. Chrysler should hang its head in shame, and the rest of us should at the very least be deeply offended (and probably boycott the company until they apologize) that they would exploit for short term gain what should be a very important and much deeper subject to all of us.

To make it worse, it is an ad for a car built using government bailout money borrowed from the Chinese by a company, a significant stake of which is owned by a country we were at war with during the lifetimes of many still alive, assembled in Canada, and rolling into "battle" on a German chassis. (Perhaps it would have been more accurate to show the Hessians (look it up) arriving in them).

Can't think of anything more American than that (though that does seem to be the American way lately). If George Washington were still alive today, I guarantee you he wouldn't drive a Challenger...he'd kick our asses back to the 18th century.

Sorry for the rant, but it's been a long time since I've been this pissed about something, and I am disappointed that more people aren't angry too.
