Is it just me or are there more car commercials than anything else on television? I think of them today because as I was walking outside on my way home from the library today there were many people standing around the street, cars were circling. Police had even cordoned off the street. Red flashing lights, waving arms, a white motorcycle parked in the middle of the street. So I stopped to ask what they were doing. I’m not shy. One said, “We’re filming a Chevrolet commercial.” I was impressed. My next question was whether it was a national commercial. Yes. Wow. Now I was really impressed.
It is super obvious, especially since the “Cash for Clunkers” program, how dependant the USA economy is on the auto industry and every thing connected with it. I wish the economy could run on a different ”gasoline” besides the automobile.
