Chrysler had the longest Super Bowl ad in history. What could more monumental than that? Well, Chrysler’s ad cost about $9 million—that’s $9 million of the taxpayers’ money (thanks to the $15 billion stimulus). So enjoy the commercial once more, since you paid for it (Washington Examiner)

It's a bad commercial on a number of different levels.
And Chrysler -- what used to be a proud American trademark known throughout the world -- furthers itself (and embarrasses some of its core good employees -- did you ask them how they want to be represented?) as cheap by use of rapper boy.
How much of the taxpayers' $9 million went to that tattooed piece of human trash?
It would be much easier to do a bold, proud, optimistic, future-focused ad featuring the foundational good of Michigan's people, positive aspects of Detroit, and this once good automaker.
Did anybody flash a positive, resolute-can-do-spirit, uplifting SMILE in that dark advertisement?
Or was that just targeted to the drug lords, pimps, and gang bangers?
Chrysler bombs again. (at our expense)
