Terrible Analogies

It’s well known that there are two different types of people who flock around their television sets at this time each and every year:

- Those who are there to watch the Super Bowl
- Those who are there for the commercials

I myself am firmly encamped in the former, but I do enjoy the elaborate commercials that air during the breaks.  I felt that the commercials lived up to the hype this year, and oddly enough found myself looking forward to the advertisements (shocking!).  Strange as it might seem, I was having a good time watching a great Super Bowl matchup and the slick ads…that is, just I saw this:

For your edification, Webster defines “fascism” as:

1 : often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
2 : a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control

So what is Audi trying to tell me? That I’m a worthless criminal with immoral tendencies who deserves to be incarcerated simply because I don’t kowtow to a hyper-sensitive ecological movement? Apparently, if I don’t drive an Audi, my worthless existence is automatically forfeit upon discovery by an indoctrinated, green initiative, jackbooted thug who works above the law and is beyond reproach?  

Watching this commercial made me feel sick.  I’ve an idea for you, Audi.  Seeing as I’m currently in the market for a new car, I’ll be sure to steer clear of you in protest of this abusive, accusatory commercial.  You can take your elitist BS and shove it.

Of course, that’s just my opinion.  I’m all for saving the planet, but this commercial went above and beyond, and shows us just what Audi really thinks of everyone who doesn’t one one of their products.

If this is a sign of things to come, I’d hate to think what America would be like if a corporation were voted in as President of the United States.
