Like the other 111 million people last Sunday I was surrounded by friends, family and finger food as we watched the Super Bowl. I love watching a good game and the Super Bowl always takes the cake with the balance of skill and pressure taking the field. Another great thing about the super bowl is the commercials. This year I have to say that the car ads took the crown. I loved the Acura ad with Jerry Seinfield and Jay Leno. The 2012 Chevy "apocalypse" ad had me laughing out loud, and Volkswagens "The Dog Strikes Back" had me reminiscing about taking my old terrier for rides in my own Beetle.
While all the car add were good, some great, one in particular had left myself humbled with pride. When the shot opens in a dark hallway and the voice of Dirty Harry himself fills the speakers you pay attention, but the words of Mr. Eastwood and Chrysler just spoke to me. I loved how it was no B.S. and straight to the point on how times are tough for so many and people are without hope and full of anxiety about tomorrow, but it reminded me just how important it is in these times to hold on to our friends, family, and our country. As Clint said:
"This country can't be knocked down with one punch. We get right back up again and when we do the world will hear the sound of our engines..."
