Thumbs down Ride it like a Ford...

In S. FL. they play the worst commercial ever. Its a bunch of latins (no offense) jumpin around singing this stupid rap/latin song around some expiditions with big crome wheels. The whole commercial their singing "ride it like a Ford."

I just had to vent because when I see this it makes me never want to ride in a ford again.

Yeah, it is kind of tacky, but the girl in the F-150 is hot.

But nothing is as bad as those rapper Burger King commercial. What were they thinking.

yea, this one has been playing for a few months. It must be some Miami spill-over. I remember seeing the toby keith one a few times, that was pretty good.

This is much worse than regular rap....its like that annoying latin song beat with spanglish over top.

Yeah I heard it too! The girls are hot, but thats about all the commercial has to offer. They have guys in a shop putting 20" rims or something like that on an Expedition. The song is pretty tacky. It's like there trying to attract the younger hispanic crowd into a FORD. Hey anything to get them out of those noisy little Hondas!

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the media has so many young kids brainwashed into acting out the latino and/or rapper lifestyle,..no matter what class you are born into, that it isn't going away any time soon or ever. Looking like you came from the ghetto and destroying the english language is now acceptable.

I'm sure the people that came into adulthood in the mid to late 50's were just as shocked when the media started going after the "hippie"/"free-thinkers"/'long-hairs..whatever you want to label them, in the late 60's or early 70's. The time's are a changing, so pull your pants down over your butt, wrap a bandanna with your gangs colors around your head, and get alot of stupid tatoos, you will fit right in.
PS..Pimp dat ride, drop it low, and chrome it up, even if you haven't been able to hear a darn thing cause your 3000 watt woofer has killed your eardrums.

If we're lucky, the subsonic vibrations from those woofers will render them sterile. One can only hope.

I haven't seen the one with the rap and the aftermarket wheels, but this seems to say that Ford factory wheels are not good enough. However, I have seen the Toby Keith commercials, & I WILL NOT buy a Ford as long as this untalented, narrow-minded moron is advertising for Ford.

Man does that ring through with a political overtone or what? If you think the man has no talent, to each his own. Narrow-minded? Well if for once an entertainer is for anything more than layin down and huggin cute fuzzy bunnies, then I will agree, guess im narrow minded too. And Moron? Are you saying anybody who disagrees with you is a moron, if so your calling me names. and im fairly certain thats against the guidelines.

If I have missrepresented the point of your post, by all means, correct me, but I doubt I have.

Regards,
Bone

I didn't mean to offend anyone, & to those I did, I apologize. I just don't agree with a lot of Toby Keith's views, both in his music & otherwise. I should not have called him a moron or made the comments about his lack of talent. As stated, to each his own. I just get tired of seeing him at almost every commercial break. He seems to be one of those people that you either love or hate (figuratively, not to say that I hate him) & I just think it is unwise of Ford to use such a person as their spokesman. Also, as Ford's spokesman, he should be up on his Ford models. If he's going to sing a song about a '69 Mustang, why use a '68 in the video?
