UGH
I'm sorry, but I don't see any reason it would ever be appropriate to
ask a soldier in an interview "You ever worry one day your number's gonna come up?" What kind of question is that from a journalist? If you want to get to that issue, could you at least ask it in a less crass way? And then to follow up with whether or not they think their wives are screwing around on them. Sweet merciful crap. What is wrong with people?

My husband said that the appropriate answer to this question is a punch square in the face.

Folks tell me that troops already distrust the press in Iraq. Geez ... could stuff like this be a part of it?

THAT AIN'T MY COUNTRY
They've been beating us over the head with that new Chevy commercial during the postseason, and my husband
hates it too. He flies off the handle every time it's on. He's mad that someone would proudly boil the US down to Hurricane Katrina and Vietnam protesters. I'll have to point out this quote from Slate: "I wonder if they could squeeze in the Rodney King beating and the Abu Ghraib photos, too."
There was a much better commercial on AFN that tried for the same concept. I have been looking online for 15 minutes but can't find any trace of it. Those of you in USAREUR will remember the Navy Reserves commercial that laid out things worth fighting for: hot dogs, Route 66, baseball, etc. This Chevy commercial really misses that mark.

Yeah, that was no where near the Route 66 commercial (and actually, the Route 66 commercial was probably the only AFN commerical I liked).
Bummer for Chevy.

Didn't the Democrats complain about Bush using 9/11 in is political ads? Bush had relevance since he was directly responsible for how 9/11 was handled. How do the tragedies in the Chevy commercial have relevance to their trucks?

Check out www.youtube.com
I can't remember the commercial you are looking for, but when I did a search for AFN and it brought back quite a few options.

Thank you. You are the first person to mention how just wrong this commercial is. It really rubs me the wrong way. Right at the outset, the first time I saw it, I questioned using Mellencamp (not sure what name variation he goes by these days), but thought I'd give it a shot. It is awful. It is so far off the mark of what I thought Chevy stood for, or should stand for.

I bitched about this commercial to my girlfriend, she just took it in stride.
Glad I'm not the only one who wondered what happened between 1969 and 2006.

FOOD NETWORK RULES
Is it just me, or is TV going a bit too far with snarky social commentary? I was watching
Cold Case the other day, and one of the suspects was a former crackhead who'd turned his life around. So Scotty snidely quips, "Yeah, you overcame drugs and had a stint in the Guard; you could be president." Hardy har har. Shut up and solve the damn mystery. It's no wonder I find myself spending more and more time on the Food Network.
Speaking of which, look who I nearly had a heart attack to meet today...

So cool! Did you invite yourself over for Christmas dinner? I can't even imagine the kinds of foods that family eats over the holidays.
