dear god, the only thing WORSE than a crappy commercial is when there are maybe 2-3 variations of it and they play them during EVERY break of a football game. so over a 3-4 hour game you see the same 2-3 commercials about 10 times an hour and want to shoot yourself in the head.
hasn't anyone done research that shows that OVER-advertising, regardless of whether the commercial is good or not, actually make advertising ineffective?
on a side note, NFL commercial breaks are unreal. i felt like i was listening to terrestrial radio. every time someone takes a break to tie their shoe there is a friggin commercial break for like 5 minutes

I could very easily have been addressing you in that post, eits.
That's the second time you accused the song of being "Republican." Well, let's look at the lyrics, shall we?
I can stand beside
Things I think are right
And I can stand beside
The idea of stand and fight
And I do believe
There?s a dream for everyone
This is our country
From the east coast
To the west coast
Down the Dixie Highway
Back home
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
The other people of this world
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 could be
Seen only as obscene
And the ones that run this land
Will 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 will never leave
And some day it will come true
And it?s up to me and you
To do the best that we can do
And 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
OK, eits. Please point out exactly what makes this song Republican?
Like all of Mellencamp's songs, this one is patriotic liberalism. Just as "Pink Houses" makes fun of people who are happy in their middle class and smears capitalism while claiming to love the US.
And I find it funny that you mentioned "Born in the USA" since it's actually an anti-US policy protest song.

During the 1:00 Football games I would use this commercial as a signal to switch from one game to another, I swear to GOD I went from one to the other at least 10 times using this method.
