Everybody that grew up in the 70's remembers this commercial. The crying Indian really drove the point home. I was just showing it to my kids (which made me feel so old)on Youtube. I remember being so angry as a kid about all the pollution and that jackass that through his garbage out the window.
It is still a great commercial, but I was just reading a very interesting article in Orion magazine about some of the facts behind the Crying Indian. Turns out the Indian whose name was "Iron Eyes" Cody is really Italian (his real name is Espera Oscar DeCorti). The really intersting part is who was actually behind the add campaign. Check it out.
