As they would say at home.
GM has I mean.
General Motors, I'm talking about.
Or Government Motors as they call it now.
Here's their ad about the fact that they had to get a multi-billion dollar bailout from the taxpayers of the USA and Canada. I'm posting this mainly for the European readership - we have this advertisement inflicted on us approximately every twelve minutes if we are sad enough to be watching cable television.
The similarities with the all-American Budweiser beer commercials are obvious - they even have the thundering hooves of the American Mustang (which is a competing brand, no??) ... I wonder do they know they shoot mustangs nowadays.
Nice to see they're spending my money on getting down to business.... We're not going out of business, we're getting down to business.
Oh you are, are you? WTF were you doing up to now?
See, see, we have a photo of a solar panel in our ad, that means our cars don't use gas.
They just sold the Hummer brand to a Chinese company.
Roll on the resource wars...

This ad makes me so mad I could spit. And its ubiquitousness means that it is being hard-wired into people who make their cultural decisions from televisual images..... which appears to be most people these days.
Terrifying manipulation of the people using their own money.
Can't we ban this stuff?
I mean, we ban drugs?
This is worse.

Balls.
i thought the same thing ... it's nice to know that now they are getting down to business ... it might have been nice for them to do that before being bailed out, but i'm no businessperson. ;)
