We knew that for the second consecutive Super Bowl, we were in for a Chrysler commercial that highlighted the city of Detroit. We knew that it would probably be one of the more sober, serious ads of the night. I didn't expect to think much of this ad, but then they busted out Clint Eastwood and all my cynicism went out the window.
Clint Eastwood has no outstanding ties to the city of Detroit, but it does not matter. The man talks, and you listen. He says it's halftime in Detroit, and he ... wait, did he see the halftime show? That was not a very Detroit halftime show.
After the cameras stopped rolling, Eastwood requested four thousand metric tons of steel, a crowbar, and a T-square. He is building every car in the Chrysler plant. These cars will never break down, because they are fearful of what will happen if they do.

I live in Detroit
I love Clint, but I am so sick of hearing that Detroit is “back”. Things are horrible here. We have corrupt leaders, a decaying city, almost everyone is on welfare, drop out rate is sky high, kids are more likely to end up dead or in jail than graduate. Crime is rampant, cops are almost non-existent outside of downtown. The city is completely broke.
How is this being “back”? Things are really bad here, and I wish people would quit acting like they aren’t

About the Clint ad
I’m from Detroit, and I love Clint, but I am so sick of hearing that Detroit is "back". Things are horrible here. We have corrupt leaders, a decaying city, almost everyone is on welfare, school drop out rate is sky high and kids are more likely to end up dead or in jail than graduate high school. Crime is rampant, cops are almost non-existent outside of downtown. The city is completely broke, I can keep going but it’s just making me depressed….
