It’s half-time in America……

Well… this is America, isn’t it? First Amendment and all that? So Mr Bridges has the right to say whatever he wants about Hyundai. You have the right to ask him not to. How many jobs will it save if he stopped? Zero. Seriously. They’d just pay someone else to talk, or make a flashier commercial, and people will buy whatever they choose to buy with their own money.

It would be better to spend this energy on abolishing Daylight Savings Time. Traffic accidents rise by 2% for the two weeks after each time change due to drivers having their sleep disrupted. Damaged cars need repairs, people getting hurt, maimed, killed, and for what? So I’d suggest laying off Mr Bridges and getting behind a cause that will make a real difference. End Daylight Savings Now!

Hahahaha…..

Even Kim Jong Il wouldn’t be caught dead in Jeff Bridge’s Wal Mart car – Hyundai !
Jong’s final ride appears to be a TRULY American-Made sled….

Gotta love it !

And as the evidence continues to pile up that supporting 3rd world automakers only hurts our own economy Jeff Bridges “The Dude” continues to shill for the Hyundai – the Wal Mart car.

It’s almost too much to fathom that he would continue to do so when so much new shit has come to light.

Kudos to Warren Buffet, Bruce Springsteen and others like them who offer to give back to the country that has helped make them rich.

In fact, and I hate to doubt post, but it seems to be that the bankers are much like the Big Lebowski (that is to say, the paraquat) in that they made money without regard to consequence.

When you bet money against your own country’s market, which used to be illegal, you are pretty much saying you are not concerned with the “kidnapping” of the American economy, even when the plane has crashed into the goddamn mountain.

Well, the auto industry actually paid back MORE than they borrowed, which is more than I can say for those fucking human paraquat bankers.

Sweet blog! I found it while surfing around on Yahoo News. Do you have any suggestions on how to get listed in Yahoo News? I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Cheers

You can choose to ignore all the empirical evidence that we have sold out American Industry and our blue collar workers or you can choose to do something about it. Had our economy not fallen into the dumpster 4 years ago and exposed all that has gone wrong I wouldn’t be here making a plea for Jeff Bridges to recuse himself from the Hyundai voice-overs.

I have chosen this as my pet project. You are free to agree or disagree. You can take up your own mission or you can let someone else do it. You are also free to remind me what a lost cause I have taken upon myself. Maybe your job, future and finances are secure. Good for you.

But I refuse to stand by while another American Industry falls prey to unfair trading policies. It’s bad enough that we facilitated the construction of another Asian (Hyundai) auto manufacturing facility on our soil. When will this self-defeating madness end? I cannot just watch from the sidelines any longer as an otherwise beloved, powerful (albeit misguided) pop culture icon enables another foreign car manufacturer to become a household word.

I’ve watched from the sidelines as our self-inflicted demise came to pass over the last 40 years and I’m not comfortable looking the other way any longer.

If you need more proof that America’s future depends on its populace supporting its own industry here is a new
article for you peruse. Please join me in asking Jeff Bridges to discontinue the Hyundai promotion. Or look the other way.

Just checked out nitpicknation.com. Seriously? Over a year and a half and there’s NOTHING to say but, that Jeff Bridges should dump the Hyundai ads. I’m a HUGE boycotter and I can tell you that, in that time, corporate America has committed more major crimes than that. There has to be some other stuff this guy is angry about. It seems like a lot of wasted focus to me. Obviously he is passionate. That’s a good thing and a lot can be done with it, but not when it’s wasted on something like this. I just feel like he could direct this passion somewhere where it can do more good. But…that’s just, like, my opinion, man.
