General Motors Commercial Spoof

re-size
General Motors has recently been running a commercial that aims to put a positive spin on bankruptcy. This version is funnier.

infoMania is a half-hour satirical news show that airs on Current TV.

Hosted by Conor Knighton and co-starring Brett Erlich, Sarah Haskins, Ben Hoffman, and Sergio Cilli, the show airs on Thursdays at 10 pm Eastern and Pacific Times and can be found online at http://current.com/infomania/ or on Current TV.

    I was thinking this while I watched their commercial.

    "Aren't you going bankrupt after being handed more money than I can quite literally even fathom physically?"

    My hometown doesn't think that GM's bankruptcy is very funny. In Lansing, MI, GM directly employed 1.6 percent of the workforce in 2005. That doesn't include all of the other workers who made their living in auto supply jobs and other support services.

    It's all funny until it's my ox being gored.

    The way they are selling out anymore it is really buy American cars made overseas! Ford isn't tumbling yet because most of it's top selling cars are really Mazda cars or what?

    I too worked for a company that just closed. It was one of the best restaurants in Southern Oregon. It was the best place I have ever cooked at! 26 mile round trip on mt bike when I couldn't catch a ride......very hilly terrain both ways. This was 10 months ago and I can't find a job even in fast food! I can relate to and feel for those who have lost jobs also! May we all get work and be back on our feet soon! Those that still have jobs cherish them even if you hate where you are.

    Bottom line for me is this:

    I try to stay pretty involved in matters on the website but I do not really watch much tv so I was a bit surprised by this.

    I grew up in the Lansing MI area and have lived here all my life.

    I have been a network engineer for 15 years and many of those years I have worked on contract in one capacity or another for GM either in house or for one of their vendors.

    Is the Bankruptcy pretty damn funny is it?

    I tell you one thing Michigan already has 13% unemployment and we are people too and we do not think it is very funny.

    Last year was the first time I ever drew unemployment in my life and it sucks.

    Glad all of us here suffering could give you a laugh.
