AUBURN HILLS, MI — Jeep sales have soared through the roof after Oprah Winfrey declared victory in Afghanistan during an incredibly popular Super Bowl advertisement aired on Sunday. Tearjerking scenes about missed events, sorrowful loved ones, and people in camouflage uniforms reminded the nation that apparently we're at war somewhere or something.
The message couldn't have been any clearer: Buy a Jeep, and bring the troops home.
Oprah Winfrey, one of the richest women on the planet, made a heartwrenching plea for all Americans to buy a Jeep, and the country responded. Jeep and Chrysler dealerships around the United States reported sales up 300 percent in less than two days. Many locations claimed that the inventory was flying off the lots so fast they were unable to keep up, and had to close early.
Duffel Blog reporters went on location to many of these dealers to see what the average American was thinking about the situation.
