That’s a pretty funny Super Bowl ad for the Chevy Silverado pickup. It takes an amusing swipe at Ford pickups at the end. Ford is so ticked off that it sent a letter to GM and NBC demanding that the ad not air during the Super Bowl. Jalopnik has text of the letter. 

I cannot imagine who at the Ford Motor Company thought that this kind of protest would be a good idea. It just makes them look silly. I, for one, have a decent amount of confidence that my Honda Accord will survive the 2012 Mayan apocalypse, no matter what GM says — and I’m man enough to endure their contumely with my head held high.
