Chevy's "This is our Country" ads

Am I the only one who is getting sick and tired of those damn Chevy ads where they sing, in this gleaming patriotic/country song, "This is our country"? BS!!

YouTube - Chevy Silverado TV commercial "our country" (2006) (warning: this is gonna **** some of you off)

I have seriously wondered if I should write in to Chevy and say, hey, that ad is encouraging me to buy a friggin' Toyota hybrid, not a Chevy!

Now for some comic relief: YouTube - "This Is Our Country" Chevrolet Silverado Ad Parody (contains possibly NSFW material :D)

Done here.
No, you're not the only one. I've been sick of them since day one, and Ford isn't any better, using Toby Keith to appeal to the a**hole community.

I'm not really bothered by them, but I also like Chevy trucks. :D

But they use Mike Rowe, too, and Mike Rowe frickin' rules!

Same here. Although I am at a loss for words as to why at the moment.

I'll have to get back to you on that. :D

Actually, the parts of the song that don't appear in the commercial are good example of left-leaning patriotism:

Well I can stand beside
Ideals I think are right
And I can stand beside
The idea to stand and fight
I do believe
There's a dream for everyone
This is our country

There's room enough here
For science to live
And there's room enough here
For religion to forgive
And try to understand
All the people of this land
This is our country

From the east coast
To the west coast
Down the Dixie Highway
Back home
This is our country

That poverty could be
Just another ugly thing
And bigotry would be
Seen only as obscene
And the ones that run this land
Help the poor and common man
This is our country

From the east coast
To the west coast
Down the Dixie Highway
Back home
This is our country

The dream is still alive
Some day it will come true
And this country it belongs
To folks like me and you
So let the voice of freedom
Sing out through this land
This is our country

From the east coast
To the west coast
Down the Dixie Highway
Back home
This is our country

From the east coast
To the west coast
Down the Dixie Highway
Back home
This is our country

Personally, I find using this song to sell trucks to the Bible Belt/Red State demographic kinda funny, in the same way that I find it funny that they also use the song Diamonds and Guns by the Transplants to sell shampoo. I think that most of the folks buying the product don't get the reference.
