I had to laugh when I read the following report from the Telegraph newspaper from the United Kingdom - click here (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/car-manufacturers/chrysler/7899050/Chrysler-commercial-targets-anti-British-feeling.html)
The report reviews the Dodge Challenger commercial that features George Washington and concludes - "Anti-British sentiment is running high in the US after the BP oil spill and further revelations about the release from a Scottish prison of the Lockerbie bomber, Abdel Baset Al-Megrahi."
There's not a single mention that the commercial was prepared for the World Cup soccer match. :rolleyes:
I'll admit that I needed our member txflyer to explain to me why the commercial was created, but at least I didn't jump to the conclusion that it was a response to the BP oil spill.
I guess it's just one more example that you can't believe everything that's in print.
