‘Anti-French’ Cadillac ad sparks anger in France
http://www.thelocal.fr/20140414/cadillac-anti-french-electric-car-advert

It’s fair to say the latest advert for the luxury classic American Cadillac car has not gone down well in France.

The ad, features US actor Neil McDonough, of Desperate Housewives fame, playing the role of a successful American self-made man, boasting about what hard-work and ambition has brought to his country, when compared to “other countries” where workers take “the whole of August off”.

In America “we are crazy driven hard-working believers”, McDonough says, as he dons his pristine suit ready for a day’s hard work, where as in other countries, “they stroll home and stop by the café”.

As McDonough gets into his Cadillac to drive off to work he pays homage to materialism while having a barely disguised dig at the French.

“As for the stuff, that's the upside of taking just two weeks off in August. N'est-ce pas? ” he says.

Needless to say the French media, always sensitive to any form of French bashing, especially when it comes from the other side of the Atlantic, took issue with the ad.

Fuck the French. They can reap what they (don't) sow. Which is, of course, nothing.

Are you off your medications today? Ask the nurse at the institution to get you some before using the keyboard again.

We are laughing at how the French have their panties in a bunch over a silly commercial.

No idiot righties like to laugh at the French because they have more intelligence and culture in their pinkie than all the dumb righties put together.

Have you been to France? Have you worked in France for a company like Alcatel? Have you ever visited Paris when everyone is on strike including the garbage men?

Well, I have... Trying to claim that they have more intelligence and culture in their pinkie than others is clearly absurd. Their culture is different than the U.S. (and their neighboring countries) but not any better. There are other commercials in Europe that portray the French as lazy and non-working.... every time one pops up the French get 'all offended' - mainly because it was an accurate portrayal.

The whole world is jealous of the French. It's the place to live in the world and they don't have to work as much. They have much more vacation time than stupid over-working materialistic Americans. That's supposed to be a bad thing?

Welcome to France, voted the best place in the world to live for the fifth year in a row by International Living magazine, which has been analyzing data and publishing its annual Quality of Life Index for 30 years.
One of the reasons France keeps winning the ranking is its world-class health care system, which Dupouy just experienced first-hand.

A single payer socialized health care system.

Damn! I lick that! Like?

He's never been out of Akron, Ohio, no less anywhere in the World. What a joke these leftists are. And yes, I liked the commercial. Cadillac is apparently marketing to the working man who has some $, credit, and WORKS for a living. The caddy driving pilgrims of decades ago have no credit, don't work, and vote nazicrat. Hopefully Cadillac pisses the parasites off, and they stick to driving shit like this, as we at least know what's behind the wheel, and can arm ourselves before the clowns pop out:
