Volvo Commercial

[MattTuck]

Commercial for the S90 features a reading of some excerpts of Walt Whitman's "Song of the Open Road." Damn, close your eyes and just listen to this. Makes me want to ride.

They are quite nice. Great poetry of course.

Seriously, the political jabs need to stop.

What a staggeringly good ad!

Thanks for sharing, Matt.

OTOH, the "wedding" campaign (there's a few of them) is overplayed and annoying. But yeah, I looked up the Whitman poem #song of the open road

Often when things don't go the way people want them to they react by being DBs.

[DRZRM]

When did it become OK for a member (mg2ride) to call another (happycamper) a doucebag (Right? Is there a less offensive interpretation for DB I don't know about?) for making a joke about politics? It's going to be a long 4 years, but this is well beyond acceptable behavior.

What he ^^ said.

That comment took what could have been a fun conversation and ran it straight into the gutter.

We know it's the season when many of us are riding less but we really need to avoid the politics and the personal attacks. We moderators have decided that with the increase in some of these types of posts, that reflect negatively on our community, that we will be allowing much shorter "leashes".

Please review the user agreement if you have any questions.

Also feel free to start this conversation again where the conversation will hopefully stay civil.
