General Motors Commercial Spoof

Right on. And the guy who served as a Tail Gunner in WWII and came home and worked hard all his life and retired from GM. And his son who is a tool and die man at the Delta Plant and...

Take Care

After reading both of yours and slarabee comments, i have the feeling that you two are talking about the unfortunate worker who happens to be employed by GM and seems to be the scapegoat of all these problems.( ex. high worker pay, which is complete bullshit) While watching that I did not make any connection between the workers and the failing company. This failing company has to do with bad public transportation policy and horrible upper management for example killing the electric car. These cars that are being produced don't stand a chance against companies like toyota that have relatively new plants and no legacy costs. With the high unemployment in states like MI the bailouts and stimulus should have been used to keep these plants open and updating them or letting them be under control of a different company that wants to be a part of a sustainable transportation system.

Yeah I hear ya. Problem is people have been bashing American made cars (and products) for so long now that it seems fashionable.

Best car I ever owned was a Pontiac. Motor kept running and is still running in another car.

We at some point better find some national pride in the things we build instead of the things we hate or we are in fact doomed as a nation.

It is all funny until it is your in-laws that are too old to work and no one knows if the will have insurance or retirement anymore.

Work all your life just to lose what little you have got.

I just cannot find anything funny about it.

I get so pissed when I hear all the bashing as I watch all my neighbors who have worked so hard losing it all I could just hang my head and cry in shame.

Well I have a Ford, dammit! :)

Things will pick back up again; it's the way the cycle goes. American car companies do need to become leaders again, to embrace interesting science and technology and churn out efficient, and cost effective automobiles. With the government backing GM, I can only really hope that they can NOT fail any more than they have and for the industry and our economy, the only place to go is up.

God bless you for buying American. We are al in this together. Peace

Bravo Slarabee, BRAVO man!

Thanks for telling it like it is.

Maybe if GM gave a hooty tooty flying fornication about building reliable quality cars, they wouldn't be in this position now would they and neither would you?

Really everyone needs to be lucky when they have a paying job, and appreciate it. I keep hearing these people saying I might quit my job, cause I don't like it? They better think again, they aren't just passing them out everyday and night anymore??? I said you better think again. I said don't quit, until you find another one. My daughter did this, and quit her job, and the other one didn't pan out? Now she's unemployed for the past 7 months. LOW LOW INcome????? Don't quit any job's, keep them and thank god for it really!

True but the big three still employ a lot of Americans. I fear not for long though when it seems to be cool to trash and make fun of your neighbors losing their jobs. I am not saying you but look around our country. Who raised these assholes anyway?

the worst part is, Ford already spun off Mazda, its an independent company now.

THAT'S LIFE, THERE'S NO GUARANTEE'S FOR ANYBODY'S COMPANY OR JOBS OR ANYTHING IN REAL LIFE. GET OVER IT, ALREADY,! Go get another job and live like the rest of the out of work American's without their finger in everyone's pocket, They already got helped, and they blew it, really now, stop whinning already and suck it up!! MACDONALD'S IS HIRING, OR ARE THEY TOO DAMN GOOD????

@Debrinconcita

You need to get a clue. Without people that build things there are NO jobs get it. If you had the first understanding of how industry effects the economy I would try to explain it to you but you are not even worth it.

GM brought it upon themselves by expecting us to buy their subpar to the competition junk, and whimpering down to the UAW

They got rich off all the American people for the last Umpteen and how many years???? Too many, Who cares, they got fat and rich off us all for long enough. High paid workers with job guaranteed, and profit sharing, live like the rest of the folks, they got fat off the hog long enough if you ask me. DON'T BUY ANY CARS, RIDE A BIKE THAT'S WHAT I DO, AND FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS NOW. I FEEL NO SYMPATHY FOR THE BIG FAT COMPANIES AND EMPLOYEE'S WHO GOT RICH TOO TOO TOO TOO MANY YEARS AND THEN SOME!

Not everyone lives in the city and can ride a bike to work. I would if I could. I hate commuting and work from home whenever I can.

But let me tell you something you do not know shit about the American auto worker so shut it. Do you know even 1.

I live over a mile from the nearest store and have to walk, ride, bike or scooter (When the piece of shit runs) and try to make the best of it.

Don't even waste my time with you whinning already, Boo hoo for you??? Explain why you care, are you a shareholder or something? Who care's your opinion means nothing to me, I don't buy car's, I don't work there, I don't think this car ass company is gonna make the World blow up and go to hell, just because they won't make millions off of people for another 50 years. The ecomomy sucks anyway, because of rich cheap ass people that won't pay taxes and keep trying to get rich. They cannot take it with them, so give it up already!!!!

I KNOW YOU CAN SELL YOUR SOUL'S TO THE DEVIL AND GET BAILED OUT AND SELL AND MAKE MORE CAR'S OKAY, I WILL ASK THE DEVIL IF YOU CAN DO IT FOR HIM,,, YOU PERSONALLY OKAY,, JUST YOUR SOUL TO SAVE GENERAL MOTORS OKAY!!!!!

All your bitching does not explain why putting so many Michiganders out of work is so damn funny.

And I got news for you, McDonalds is not even hiring in around here.

You don't know what the hell you are talking about and you are just jealous cause you have never worked hard enough to have shit.

I'm with you slarabee. This post is the only one I will bother wasting my time with on them, as they are not worth my time.
Obviously, those who don't NEED a car, aren't likely to buy one, but if they were to, I should hope it would be an American owned and built with pride by the UAW men and women that have busted their backs, literally, to keep this company going.
Even if I didn't have a stake in GM succeeding or not, I still wouldn't buy a vehicle built by a company based in a country that bombed my country and shot at my Grandfather and his brothers.
Viva La General Motors!!!
No need to reply as I won't be checking back in.

Yeah i've been out of work since october.. and I applyed for 3 McD's and they wont even hire me... you know it's sad...

Truthfully I don't own one. Bike, scooter or gfriends cuter commuter.

eden I commented on this too, and I'm getting insulted, called out and harrassed and called dumb, stupid and if looks could kill I would be dead. Don't worry about it, they will make enough money some how some way, They can start by selling bikes and working at Macdonalds, hahahaha I don't care if anyone gets mad about this??? NOT
