What next, then?<br /><br />We just found out during Super Bowl XLVII. This year <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/chrysler/">Chrysler</a> went with two commercials, one for <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/jeep/">Jeep</a> and the other <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/ram/">Ram</a>. The two-minute-long Jeep commercial, called <em>Whole Again</em>, is narrated by Oprah Winfrey and presented as an open letter to the service men and women of America, simply expressing admiration for what they do - poignant message coming from a company whose history is so entwined with that of the military's.<br /><br />The Ram commercial, called <em>Farmer</em>, honors the agricultural backbone of this country. Its soundtrack is a speech entitled "So God Made a Farmer" given by the famous radio broadcaster Paul Harvey, which plays over a slideshow of original photography commissioned by Ram. The images, of course, focus on farming and the people who do it for a living, and there's a few Ram trucks in there, as well.<br /><br />Do the ads work? Watercooler judges around America will answer that later today, but we think they're just the right sort of follow up to both of Chrysler's previous big ads. <a href="/2013/02/03/chrysler-uses-super-bowl-spots-to-honor-troops-farmers/#continued">Check 'em out below</a> for yourself.<p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/02/03/chrysler-uses-super-bowl-spots-to-honor-troops-farmers/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Chrysler uses Super Bowl spots to honor troops, farmers</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/02/03/chrysler-uses-super-bowl-spots-to-honor-troops-farmers/">Chrysler uses Super Bowl spots to honor troops, farmers</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Sun, 03 Feb 2013 23:25:00 EST.
