I agree. I think it’s rather classless to use a speech like that to promote selling a vehicle.
Just as classless as selling a pair of overpriced shoes.
The Ram commercial is linked above. It honors the people that serve the community in one way or another, they really don't push the truck a whole lot in it. IMHO it was fairly tastefully done.
The Nikes got nothing but praise in the above links.
At least FCA
tried to promote a little unity...
It isn't going to make me go out and buy a Ram, or burn mine to the ground if I owned one. (I don't)
I do know that at least one of King's living relatives wasn't fond of it and didn't give permission
Have a link?
Edit:
Nevermind...
Although the use of King's words and voice was authorized by the King estate, it may have deepened an old wedge between some of his children.
That's all that legally matters... The rest is between the estate and the family, not really any of our business.

So, y'all can get your panties in a bunch, but don't blame FCA, or the others for using what they were told they could.
