Thu, 09 Feb 2012 00:00:00 PST2012-02-09T16:18:30UTC It started about a year ago, at the last Super Bowl - Chrysler running these elegiac ads about how their cars are "imported from Detroit" and how the fact that they're American means we should all buy them, because we are all in this together, some of us as...(image) (image) (image) (image) (image) (image) (image)
