This year, the one bugging me on Indians games is for YellaWood, a wood manufacturer. It has an annoying-as-hell country song with a guy singing in a really extreme "hillbilly" accent, "The suuuuuhnn comes uhhhhhhp and the sun gooooes down, work awaaaay, work awaaaaay." Like nails on a chalkboard to me.<br /><br />But back to repulsive car ad campaigns...have you seen Chrysler's "The Kings and Queens of America" yet? Oh, it will rub you the wrong way just like it does me. Talk about a campaign designed to persuade rich people they earned every single thing they got by the sweat of their brows so they won't feel guilty about buying themselves a flashy new car. Oh yeah. They are entitled. They EARNED that car. It was sheer meritocracy. Nobody gave them any inherited wealth or pulled any strings or smoothed their path or made things easier for them because they were white or anything. No sirree.
