    "We've been knocked down before....but we've always got back up.....well here's round three AMERICA"...

    You're my hero Clint....

    ...if that commercial didn't make ya spur up ya like the National Anthem did.....you better check yourself....and that would be at the door....

    I forgot about Detroit of as a matter of importance before......it took Eastwood to refresh my memory over EMINEM and SUH....

    I REMINDED ONCE AGAIN......USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    He did a great job with the lead role in the movie Gran Torino which was set in a Detroit suburb.

    Eastwood responds to criticism;

    Of course the ad wasn't shot in Detroit;

    I did not see the ad as pro anything but American initiative. That conservatives cry foul is not surprising to me, and I easily dismiss their conspiracy-oriented whining (There I go, using that word again.)

    That the commercial was not shot in Detroit also is inconsequential. It was an outstanding commercial with a strong, positive message. I liked it.

    Heh...must have been contraversial enough for us to have two threads on it. :)

    Here's my paste;

    Aw, it was a good ad...

    And I'm not going to dump on Clint for doing it. He's as pro American as anybody.

    But it WAS paid for, in part, by government dollars, and whining or not, I can see where it can be accused of being a bit political..."we're at halftime", and all that.

    Only question...does that mean "we're only halfway done...give us a second half"....or does it mean "Let's make some second half adjustments...we kind of didn't do so well in that first half." 8)

    I did enough work on a Fiat 124 Spider in the 70's that I don't ever want to hear the word Fiat again. My mother owned one and I fixed it more than she drove it. Never the same thing twice. When she married my step father, I was so happy that he got to take over the Fiat maintenance!

    My vote for the best commercial: a canine chorus barking out the march for the Empire Strikes Back:
