*Fortune *joined this weekend’s parade of all things USA with its list of “100 great things about America.” Be forewarned: the list itself is exceedingly dopey. After all, Clif bars, 60 Minutes, GEICO commercials, and LeBron James are among the things that *Fortune *somehow manages to rank ahead of the men and women collectively serving in our armed forces. (They’re number 64, for whatever that’s worth. Fortune separates out the SEALs, ranking them #5.)
Thanks to our nation’s obsession with them, cars and car-related items dot the list as well. A few even crack Fortune’s top 25: Detroit (14), the Ford F-150 (#11) and interstate highways (#2). NASCAR sits at #51, drive-in movie theaters (the remaining few) occupy the 87th spot, Kevin Spacey’s Honda commercial voice-overs rank 41st (not making any of this up) and Exxon Mobil comes in at #88.
To read the whole facepalm-inducing list, head over to Fortune, where you’ll also learn that duct tape (#16) ranks ahead of the Bill of Rights (#17).Detroit, F-150 and interstates among Fortune’s “100 great things about America” originally appeared on Autoblog on Sun, 03 Jul 2011 10:03:00 EST.
