God Made A Farmer commercial = EPIC!

I'll preface it by saying that I grew up in the country, but that commercial was over the top and pretty damn ridiculous.

I must be the only one who thought it was kinda dumb. :/

My dad (who was a farmer) said he was just cynical and thought it was just an attempt to sell pickups to city people

Urban Guilt? Did I just coin a new phrase tonight?

Just like ANF, it's all about the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Great marketing I suppose.

If you don't own a Dodge truck you hate America.

Does it count if I own a Jeep?

Only when they're used to make me fawn over a massive multinational corporation without telling me a single thing about the actual product they produce.

That's because it's called a "soft sell."

I loved their cover of Tainted Love.

Apparently your Dad and I would get along :)

There are very few farmers around that are like the farmers in that commercial anymore.

Paul Harvey made that speech to the FFA in 1978 and its a classic. I've heard that before and I love it. So glad Dodge used it as it needs more air time and rings just as true today as 1978. I've actually played that for my Dad before to help convince him to allow me to come back home and farm eventually. And as someone who was running cows all day for the vet and missed the first half of the Super Bowl, that was the highlight of my day.

My girlfriend was asking me who Paul Harvey was, and all that came to mind (for you redditors out there), is that he was the OG of today I learned's.

I was trying to explain this concept to my gf how corporate farming is now as well, didn't help that she was tearing up.

It's interesting reading that those who bash Iowa's ANF stickers like this commercial. It's a marketing money grab, they really don't care.
