So the latest Corvette Ad was pulled after leaders of seven auto safety groups wrote Tuesday to GM chairman Rick Wagoner to protest the television spot, saying it sent a dangerous message.
The ad, (watch it here) carries the disclaimer "This is a dream. Don't drive without a license." It shows a clearly underage boy imagining himself behind the wheel of a Corvette, taking the 350-horsepower car airborne - after driving it wildly through city streets and spiraling it through a large drainpipe - as the Rolling Stones' "Jumpin' Jack Flash" played in the background.
According to Ochman...It is a stupid idea to show children driving like lunatics in dream sequence or any other way.
Please...it was the coolest Corvette commercial in years.
More Ochman:Sadly, people really are so freaking stupid that corporations get tied up in endless litigation based on the premise that they should be able to figure out every ridiculous thing a litigious moron could come up with to do with their product. And then they have to have a warning on the product before the moron sues. The mystery is why GM approved the Corvette ad to begin with. Perhaps auxiliary penises aren't selling well these days.
Jeez...Man issues?
