More garbage; give it a rest.
If only the GM commercial showed this much creativity. Although I admit that it’s hard to make an interesting commercial for a failing company. But maybe that’s a hint that no commercial is needed? (Can we have part of that $30 billion back instead?)
John Tantillo, who is actually optimistic about the company’s future (because of the strength of its brands) pointed out on his marketing blog that the GM reinvention commercial is a failure because “people don’t buy a company; they buy a car.” (He also maintains that “corporate advertising doesn’t work” and has railed against Super Bowl commercials in the past.) http://blog.marketingdoctor.tv/2009/06/08/john-tantillos-brand-winner-and-loser-gm-and-levis.aspx
Jon Stewart´s bit on our forced acquisition of GM is the best news commentary I´ve seen yet on the situation – http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/index.jhtml?videoId=228973&title=big-mess
