In their latest TV ad Ford appeals to those “who give a damn” about the world around them – in comparison to Cadillac’s story of those who work all the time, just to get more for themselves.
Watch the two ads on Business Insider and see which one appeals to you.

Rolling Stone Magazine reports:
Jimmy Fallon is starting his new gig off with a bang: U2 will be the talk show host’s first musical guests when he takes over The Tonight Show from Jay Leno next month. Fallon’s music booker, Jonathan Cohen, announced the news on Twitter Sunday evening.
I’m a fan of Fallon to begin with but I’ll actually find it hard to pick between him, Kimmel and Letterman now when I’m up watching the late night talk shows. It was so much easier when I could just watch Fallon and now worry about anything else on. 🙂

Have you seen other examples of civil disagreements on TV?
I’ve really been enjoying the U2/South African mashup videos during ESPN’s coverage of the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
The videos feature footage from U2’s Rose Bowl concert last year, mashed up with the Soweto Gospel Choir.
Billboard.com reported earlier this year…
After teaming with ESPN for its coverage of the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany, Bono pulled aside ESPN senior director of sports marketing Seth Ader and said, “This is just a warm-up for the one that really matters: South Africa.”
One of my favorites so far has been the Get On Your Boots mashup…
