Who else is so sick of the commercial with the eighteen wheeler doing a power slide through the parking lot and stopping at the front doors of the dealership?

Ten times in the last 2 weeks would of been tollerable, 100 would have been a bit irritating but, I would wager they have run that thing a 1000 times. I don't know if it is the fakness of the trialer being "lose" or the 3 second clip of Magic Carpet Ride by Steppenwolf that gets played about 8 times in the spot. Probably the combo of both.

:thumdown: :gomer:

GM: destroying classic rock songs, one car model at a time.

:D

GM's corporate aesthetics are remarkably consistant from their design studios right through to the advertising. Imagine what discipline it took to imprint that level of tastelessness on a company with that many employees...

Can't disagree. :thumbup:

Although, and you can burn me at the stake later, one of my biggest pet-peeve commercials has got to be the Bridgestone "The wheeeeel goes round and round...". Heard it so many times it's like nails on a chalkboard now. The one downside of being a Champcar fan. :)

Appologies to our series sponsor, but perhaps a new commercial/jingo is in order. :p
