For those of you who haven't seen it. It is kinda funny and poking fun of the 2012 Mayan Calendar thing. Post those super bowl commercials after the game!
From whom are unforgiven we bring the mercy of war.
Saw it on yahoo, some of the comments were rather funny
"Maybe ford should poke fun at chevy for getting bailout money in their next add?"
btw, apparently the add spot cost 7 Million
Also I notice they didn't mention a "shortage gas and subsequent war over resources" as the cause for the global apocalypse, a shortage caused by all those gas guzzling trucks no doubt

Okay. What constructive feedback!
Why do we need contructive feedback?
It's not like Chevy are going to listen to us and change it based on our comments...

Because, allegedly, the commercial "misstated the facts" (lied). You can say what you want about a competitor, or compare your products to a competitor's, but you have to do it truthfully.
Yea Chevy did step over the line a bit. If I were Ford though, I wouldnt let it hurt too much, last I checked, Ford trucks still outsold Chevy trucks, but quite a bit. And I can tell ya from experience in bogging a Ford, I pulled many chevys home at the end of the day, and being the nice Ford owner, never charged for gas
I'm guessing 'Twinkies' surviving the apocolypse is a re-occuring theme in American culture? I remember a Family Guy episode about it but thats all I know of it.

A common urban legend claims that Twinkies have an infinite shelf life or can last unspoiled for a relatively long time of ten, fifty, or one hundred years due to chemicals used in production.[13] This urban legend is false, although Twinkies can last a relatively long time (25 days or more) because they are made without unstabilized dairy products and thus spoil more slowly than most bakery items.[14] In reality Twinkies are on the shelf for a short time, a company executive told the New York Times in 2000 that the "Twinkie is on the shelf no more than 7 to 10 days.
Subtly poking fun at the Twinkies situation is also a bit ironic, as Hostess is currently going through bankruptcy and people keep saying Twinkies dies with Hostess (unlikely).
Cheers is an American situation comedy television series that ran for 11 seasons from 1982 to 1993. It was produced by Charles/Burrows/Charles Productions, in association with Paramount Network Television for NBC, and was created by the team of James Burrows, Glen Charles, and Les Charles. The show is set in the Cheers bar (named for the toast "Cheers") in Boston, Massachusetts, where a group of locals meet to drink, relax, chat and have fun. The show's theme song, written and performed by Gary Portnoy, and co-written with Judy Hart Angelo, lent its famous refrain, "Where Everybody Knows Your Name", as the show's tagline.
It also spawned Frasier.
A spin-off of Cheers, Frasier stars Kelsey Grammer, David Hyde Pierce, John Mahoney, Jane Leeves and Peri Gilpin. It is one of the most successful spin-off series in television history as well as one of the most critically acclaimed comedy series of all time.

Did anyone notice megatron's head in the video after he drove passed the Big Boy?
Ford doesn't need to get hurt over this. If they want they can just run an Ad saying "At least we didn't make the Volt. The worst selling car in history which also catches on fire for no reason even though it's an ELECTRIC vehicle." Or how about this: "Ford, atleast we know how to manage a business without forcing the American Taxpayer to keep us afloat."
Maybe you hang out with immature women. Maybe you're attracted to immature women because you think they'll let you shpadoink them.

Its all related to Zombieland, where one of the main protagonists searched the world for tweenkies.
