Kia Airs Pro-America ‘The Great Unknowns’ Commercial During Superbowl LIII
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Korean car manufacturer Kia may have taken the cake for the most pro-America advertisement during this year’s Superbowl with its “The Great Unknowns” commercial celebrating the rural Americans who make America great.
The advertisement features halting music and a child’s arresting voice over that describes the lives of rural Americans in the small Georgia town where Kia owns a factory .

This year, we celebrate the people who make this country incredible. Those who # GiveItEverything —The Great Unknowns.
And now, we’re launching a scholarship program in their honor. http://www. TheGreatUnknowns.orgTrending: UPDATE: Stanford Fellow Hints At Possible Justin Fairfax Sex Assault
“We are not famous. There are no stars on the sidewalk for us. No statues for our honor. We’re just a small Georgia town of complete unknowns. The closest thing to a world stage is 81 miles away,” the child says, “Our movie stardom, our football careers, they never kick off.”
“Because we’re not known for who we are, we hope to be known for what we do,” said the child, referencing the automobiles manufactured in the small town, “What we build, this thing we’ve assembled, it has a chance to be remembered.”
“No we are not famous, but we are incredible. And we make incredible things.”
The commercial offered a stunning rebuke to the usual left-wing talking points expressed in the advertisements, and is already being praised as one of the best commercials of the evening.

Kudos to you for seeing what you did.
I saw it, was impressed, felt good and proud.
I will admit that my feelings of it were of an America where a Charlottesville or a Pittsburgh Synagogue tragedy could never happen.
I also will take issue with your 'left wing' comment though. I do not believe that was necessary or in spirit of what the advertisement was trying to convey.
My post was a quote from the fine article I seeded. As a patriotic American I like ads like that one and the one Ram did with their pickups Paul Harvey style a few years ago. There is a lot of positives about rural and small town America. As an owner of a Kia SUV I was proud of them for making that ad.
Even though you haven't a clue WTF it was really about.
I am from rural small town Ohio. Dragway 42 is the clue.
Nice to see one that was not SJW genuflecting on the PC alter.
Exactly. So right on. Nice to see you here again.

What are "the usual left-wing talking points expressed in the advertisements," ?
And how were they rebuked by this advert ?
"Left wing talking points" is in the Putin's playbook for the American right wing---It proves that Pavlov was right. So was his dog.
I actually saw most of the commercials this year, which I usually don't do. It was pretty mind numbing. The only product I really recall was Pepsi, because the actor Steve Carrell was in about three of their commercials during the game. Oh, and Budweiser , which played the civil rights anthem Blowin In The Wind while claiming that their beer is made by windmills or something.
Didnt see the one about rural Georgia. I wonder how many people will buy their car because they had a "patriotic" commercial.
We all know the power of ads on TV regarding people’s purchasing choices. A warm and positive ad like this one never harms the reputation of the company doing it.
