Submission + - Ford Just Destroyed Cadillac's Ad Praising Rich Guys Who Work All The Time (businessinsider.com)

Lasrick writes: This is great. Ford destroys that stupid Cadillac ad that shows a rich guy banging on about how hard it is to be a hard-working rich American guy, but how ultimately it's so much better than being a European who gets two weeks off every August. It's that attitude that because rich people work hard, they assume that non-rich people don't. And also that the only thing admirable is working hard so that you can get rich. Many people work hard but want their work to make the world a better place, not just so that they accumulate wealth. Ford made a great ad.
