Hear about the GM robot suicide commercial during the 2007 Super Bowl? Two DJs on one of our local stations this morning on the drive to work said that 250 people complained to some suicide prevention agency and that GM is standing my their commercial and refuses to pull the ad.
I think if I were GM, I might pull the add for another reason...
It it too depressing to inspire the I-think-I-need-a-new-GM response in television viewers.
Besides....
It angers me on another level.
I don't want to be reminded that people aren't working! That robot replaced a human being. Tightening screws for a living might not be the most glamorous job, but, it pays better than Taco Bell.
So, don't remind me that Americans have lost jobs so you could save money yet charge me more for a vehicle!

I didn't see that, no.
ReplyDeleteHowever, of the ones I DID see from the super bowl, I'd say the marketing geniuses were taking this year off and pod people with no sense took over.
It was very boring this year except for negative controversy.
Heck, even the half-time show was lame, so TOTALLY lame, and I usually like Prince's music.
It would have been nicer if perhaps he STUCK to his own music.
This was a forgetful year.
Besides,the Patriots choked at the last game. They SHOULD have been there..LOL!
Good points, Annalee!
I was listening to old Prince this morning on the way to work on the radio... Little Red Corvette. I like his old music from Purple Rain era.
