Anyone catch the "National Guard WARRIOR" trailer they are showing at the movies lately?

[PassingFair]

It mixes the National Guard with Nascar :puke:
AND Kid Rock :puke: :puke:

At first I thought it was a sinister softening-up
of the American public for martial law, BUT
after visiting the site, I see it is both a
recruitment vehicle AND a sinister softening-up
of the American public for martial law.

1. I'm reminded of when the ninja turtles spoke out against drug use.

4. I almost choked on my popcorn!

When you go into a theater to see "Religulous",
you DO NOT EXPECT "National Guard Warriors"!

NO ONE EXPECTS NATIONAL GUARD WARRIORS!

2. I thought it was sad

Pathetic, really. I cannot imagine anyone falling for it.

I don't think service in the Guard fits in with Kid Rock's lifestyle. Oh, sorry, he's just getting paid for his endorsement and "music". No intention of serving himself, of course. How Republican of him.

[PassingFair]

5. And WTF....

does NASCAR have to do with anything?

[Alcibiades]

16. It appeals to their target demographic

My question is whether the driver of their car actually serves in the Guard. I bet not.

[PassingFair]

21. Oh, I'm sure that Kid Rock makes up for it with his three tours in Iraq....

:sarcasm:

19. Consider the audience. n/t

[Cattledog]

3. Yeah it's terrible

Don't think it's gonna get very many kids to enlist.

[PassingFair]

7. Sadly, if the employment situation gets any grimmer....

they won't have much of a choice.

:cry:

6. i've seen it a few times and my kid said to me "the national guard is supposed to stay here, yes?"

[PassingFair]

8. If he's thinking of joining...tell him NO!

They DO deploy to war zones.

9. she's only 14 and no way will she be joining, her cousin is on his 3rd tour.

[PassingFair]

12. Weren't you surprised to see it the first time?

I couldn't tell if it was a movie or an
ad or WHAT....

They even had a GIGANTIC display of it in
the lobby.

[kaiden]

10. Is Kid Rock supposed to be "singing" in that commercial?

[PassingFair]

11. No, he's lip-syncing,

Dale Ernhardt, Jr. is singing...

[progressive_realist]

13. I think it's pretty good, actually.

It looks sharp, like a music video. And it is aimed at precisely the people I wish would enlist and go fight overseas. :evilgrin:

Although, yeah, from a logical standpoint, I have no idea what Nascar has to do with the National Guard.

[PassingFair]

14. Kid Rock, War AND Nascar!

I wonder if the Dixie Chicks have seen this?

[jmowreader]

15. If Little E is in the commercial, I can explain...

The National Guard sponsors Jr's car. They've sponsored cars for a while, but usually they sponsor some NDMF no one likes because it's cheaper that way. At least this time they put their money on a popular driver's car.

17. I purposely go to movies 15 min. late now,

so I don't have to watch that nazi bull-crap,
the 3 Doors Down, citizen soldier one was what
sent me over the edge. I love how they show
them saving people from drowning and stuff.
I must have missed that footage from Katrina.

[Cid_B]

18. Website seems to be down...

... at least for me.

[Cid_B]

20. And its back.. and its awesome...

I like the video myself...

22. Gotta love these people
