Dodge Ram’s Super Bowl ad, featuring Paul Harvey,

After I posted the “No worries, man. Ev’rythin’ will be all-right” Volkswagen ad last night, a friend emailed with another Super Bowl ad “outrage”: CAIR complained about this ad,

Apparently they’re upset that the Arab has a camel, or something, and that you can’t vote for him at the website.

You can, however, vote for the bikers, the cowboys or the show girls.

The ad, by the way, borrows from

• the old Puerto Rican saying, “he thinks he’s the last Coca Cola in the desert”, referring to a guy who think’s he’s God gift to women
• Priscilla Queen of the Desert
• Mad Max
• Blazing Saddles
• and Lawrence of Arabia (who was most definitely not Arab)

Vote early, vote often!

Love the guy.
Love the ad.
Racist? Nope.

This commercial tells me that: White people are too uptight and need to be more like Jamaicans. And the best way to do that is through German engineering.

And VW’s getting at least as much mileage as they did with Little Darth Vader,

Poor Clint. He did a Super Bowl ad for Chrysler (which is owned by Fiat), with pro-Obama undertones (h/t Instapundit), and now people are making fun of him.

Here’s the original,

Here’s Rush Limbaugh’s parody,

and before you know it, the libertarians jump in, too,

Now everybody and their mom’s doing a parody on YouTube.

Which leaves me wondering, what happened to the Old Spice guy?

… predicted ahead of time that the Giants would win.
