Touching...but unnecessary.  Just my opinion, but I would be annoyed if there was a 5 minute ford commercial during a TV show like this.  It's like a public service announcement sponsored by ford.

I cried, too... you know why?



I was hoping the old man would give him the keys to that old GT... that new thing ain't no Mustang!!

Sorry Im an Iraqi Freedom vet

Me, too... I was being a bit facetious.
The new GT is pretty slammin' and handles much better, I'm sure, than the old one.
But it would have been more meaningful a gesture if he passed on the old car to his son... it would also have more to do with selling Fords, and less to do with "patriotic consumption", or whatever one might call  it. 

BUaahhhhhhh!!! Buaaaahhhhh 

Makes me want to buy a Mustang,and BTW,Dude I know a trick of how you can scape without let your daddy realize about the mileage, Unplug the transmition wire you moron!!


LOL nice comercial, but all that beatiful message and for the same result ......Buy a FORD!

Awsome Video.  My dad has a Mustang Mach 1 (1971 model year), its cool.  I wanted a new one but like many thought it uncomparible to an older model.  My solution was giving it to Mr. Jack Roush.  They fixed it up for me!  (For those who aren't on the ball, Roush Fenway Racing is a big NASCAR team)

War Time product placement. Only a matter of time.

I see it now. Troops, dressed to the max, carrying all the equipment they can manage, jumping out of the back of an APC into the remains of a bombed out house. They are heavily breathing, the look of respectful fear in their eyes. One inches forward and looks out of what is left of a window. Insurgents open up on them with a .50 cal, the troops hit the floor, the house in peppered, but all are OK. The squad leader looks at his troops and nods, words are not required, that "nod" says it all. The troops then rush out, running from building to building firing as they go. The camera cuts to our guys feet as enemy .50 cal flicks the dirt around them. Then the camera stops and the troops carry on and disappear around a corner. Shooting and shouting is heard. The camera waits, it all goes quite. The camera advances to see a national flag draped over the enemy gun and the troops sat on ammo boxes and sand bags getting their breath back and assessing what they have done. The camera cuts to a troop getting his water bottle out and taking a mouthful and then we cut to slow motion as he empties some onto his head, the water drops bouncing down his face and pulling the dust off, but then we hear Pssssssssssssssssst and the camera turns.

American version. The Troop has a red and white can in his hand and take a long pull. Across the screen:
"Coke Cola, the true taste of Iraqi Freedom" and then fades to black.

English version. Two Brits holding black and white cans, clink their cans together. Looking at the dead insurgent one says to the other, "I bet he doesn't drink Carling Black Label".
