Inane Television Commercial for the Automotive Replacement Glass chain Safelite, glorifying trivial Sports and younger demographics, while disparaging individuals employed in or retired from the Automotive Industry, including current and former Automotive Glass Engineers, including my father: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gerry-parij-58479837/.
Heaven forbid that the Actors, the fictional Characters that they portray in this Television Commercial; and the Demographics that Safelite is trying to reach with this particular Television Commercial each comprehend not only the engineering that went into the Glass on the Automobiles that they destroy by the way of the trivial Sports; but also that they become as wise as generations of people born prior to 1975, and they comprehend just how much more important Automobiles as a whole, Electric Fans, Amateur/Ham Radio, and Commercial Broadcast Radio and Television all are than Sports and Fitness; and that the Broadcasting aspect of Sports is the one and only aspect of Sports that matters.

The Lincoln Division Of The Ford Motor Company Marketing Their Chinese-Built CDX707 Nautilus To Young, Radical People; And Airing Senseless Commercials With Wierdo Music As Part Of Their Effort To Market The CDX707 To Young, Radical People.
For some reason, as of the time of writing this post; the Ford Motor Company chooses to import the CDX707 Nautilus from China, instead of selling it’s more mainstream platform-mate; the CDX706 Ford Edge Long-Wheelbase variant in the North American market.
More examples of the inane business decisions that the Ford Motor Company is making as of the time of writing this post are reportedly developing a Panel Truck version of the P758 Ford Maverick; rather than say, sell the Ford Mondeo Sport, the Ford Focus Active Station Wagon/Estate, the BEV Explorer that is on the Volkswagen MEB Platform (per the joint venture that the Ford Motor Company has formed with the Volkswagen Group in 2018), the BEV Ford Capri that is also on the Volkswagen MEB Platform, the Ford Transit/Tourneo Courier, the Ford Transit/Tourneo Connect that is now a badge-engineered version of the Volkswagen Caddy C-Segment Van that is on the Golf’s A-Platform, and the Ford Transit Custom that is now on the same platform as the T7 Volkswagen Transporter; all in the North American market.

I know I am months late regarding writing a post regarding this news, but my friend Ken Squier’s family (including his daughter Ashley) had sold his Radio Stations WDEV-AM-FM, WCVT-FM, WLVB-FM, and a few Relay Transmitters with the call letters W243AT, W252CU, and W273AM; to a Real Estate Investment Group run by two one time Vermont State Republican candidates this past January.
I, personally; am not happy with the news, and I wish that Ken Squier’s daughters (including Ashley) would have retained ownership of the Radio Stations, and that Ashley would have the intent of handing down ownership of the Radio Stations to her children later on down the road.
See this earlier post regarding the passing of Ken Squier: I Am Deeply Saddened By The Recent Passing (As Of The Time Of Writing This Post) Of My Personal Friend And CBS NASCAR Broadcaster Ken Squier
Bill France Sr. had personally selected Ken Squier to found the Motor Racing Network (MRN), the Radio Network that was founded at the time when the Big Four Radio Networks (CBS, NBC, ABC, and Mutual); and the Big Three Television Networks (CBS, ABC, and NBC) did not want to air Radio or Television coverage of NASCAR Races.
At one time, WDEV-AM was the Anchor Station for the Motor Racing Network (MRN).
Below is the link to an Article by the Broadcasting Trade Publication ‘Inside Radio’ regarding Ken Squier’s family selling his Radio Stations, Bill France Sr. personally selecting Ken Squier to found the Motor Racing Network (MRN), and WDEV-AM; at one time, being the Anchor Station for the Motor Racing Network (MRN):

Stupid Television Commercial that the North American Cellular business arm of Deutsche Telekom, T-Mobile; with modernist, athletic Actors dressed to the nines, is running as of the time of this post.
These modernist, athletic Actors that the marketing firm hired by the North American Cellular business arm of Deutsche Telekom, T-Mobile; Patrick J. Adams and Gabriel Macht, should not only be barred from dressing to the nines, but Patrick J. Adams and Gabriel Macht both need to comprehend how much more important the Automotive world as a whole, the world of Amateur/Ham Radio, the world of Commercial Broadcast Radio and Television, and Electric Fans all are than Sports and Fitness.
Deutsche Telekom owning and operating several historically important AM/Mediumwave and Shortwave Radio Transmitter Sites, such as those in Nauen, Germany; and in Ismaning, Germany; is much more important than their North American Cellular business arm running stupid Television Commercials such as this one in question.
