Hey, it's that song you gagged on back in the 70s. With a Nissan!



As near as I can tell through one viewing of this gigantic smarmy steaming pile of manipulative tripe, Dad is a NASCAR driver who got married, had a son, and then went on a 17-year race circuit in which he never, ever came home not even once and his only contact with his son was some kind of failed mind meld which could only be attempted because his abandoned wife inexplicably allowed the kid to watch Daddy Almost Get Killed For the Entertainment of Screaming Rubes live every Saturday afternoon.

Oh, and one day dad showed up in a Nissan outside his kid's school, and his kid got into the car because he recognized dad from television.

That's all there is, right?

  1. Ah, but you missed the most painfully bad aspect of this ad: it relies for its sentimental tug upon a song written and sung by Harry Chapin...a guy who died IN A CAR ACCIDENT.

    Major fail.
