Happy Etc.


Is There Anything More Mongolian Than


One of NYC's finest free daily newspapers had this asinine ad recently: 'Is there anything more American than America?' 

We could fill an hour with jokes like 'Is there anything more French than…? ~ Yes, if you …etc!' 

But wait! There's more… 

The ad was for Chrysler. And in fact, it was first seen as one of the famously-expensive Super Bowl commercials, and it starred Bob Dylan, because, one supposes, there's nothing more American than… etc. 

Except, of course, (and I know everyone has pointed this out already), Chrysler is now owned by Fiat. In fact, just to conclude with an irritating pun, Chrysler was acquired by Fiat through governmental fiat. 

Groanzaplenty.
