And it should win an award,

I have only owned GM cars in my life, I always loved them until now. Secondly, the whole garbage of the inability to compete in utter BS, it was only two or three years ago and GM was raking in profits. My guess would be look back three years ago and ask what was different then and now? My guess is GM, more of your union members are receiving pensions, BTW do you not remember what you had to pay to buyout those union members that you were no longer able to support? Maybe that had a little something to do with your inefficiency. Anyway, no more Obama GM vehicles for me, heck I even canceled their stupid credit card.

I hadn’t scrolled down all the way down when I hit the play button (so didn’t see the note re the Ace of Spades.)

I was laughing in the first middle of the first commercial thinking “this must be a spoof.” Well, you know the rest.

He’s still under contract with GM.

He’ll blast them during commentary, then turn right around and run a commercial talking about the wonderful new GM.

is Chapter Eleven.

to find some good stuff like this:

FEATURE STORY

GM kills electric car, five others in shooting spree.

CEO Says electric car tried to “f**k my s**t up” and totally “had it coming”. Electric car is survived by electric scooter, and electric bus.

Follow the links there to read about the ’90s “EV-1″ and its “thousands of customers lined up to buy it,” and also Michael Moore’s rant on HuffPo.

“…and more committed to the oil companies.”

The parody was created by someone who thinks the auto companies actually buy patents that improve fuel efficiency in order to bury them and keep oil companies happy. I don’t know why that makes sense to people, but it doesn’t to somebody in business.

It’s not like Shell can just say, “We won’t sell gas to people who drive GM cars.” They’d have to tell their franchisees, “Look, we want to increase our profits, so we’re going to eliminate roughly 30% of your sales. Can’t have people driving those fuel efficient cars.” To prevent this scenario, GM makes vehicles that get low gas mileage that people are less inclined to buy now that gas is $2.50/gallon.

Yeah, right. That makes sense.

Maybe it’s just more likely that these patents didn’t work… Or in a lot of cases, never existed in the first place… ‘Cause let’s face it, when gas was $4 a gallon, just about every car company in America would have loved to have had that 100mpg carburetor.

I am just as angry as anyone else that GM got this bailout, but there is honest criticism and there is paranoia. The parody maker is paranoid.

The first one was utter propaganda, and the second one completely missed the point. The big three have two problems, union contracts and CAFE, government control does nothing to solve either problem. Unions are now on both sides of the bargaining table with the taxpayer picking up the tab for the contracts. Dont waste your breath talking of boycoting GM, you are going to pay for their cars whether you buy them or not. Recent changes in CAFE standards will force Ford to phase out the F150, which has been their perenial bread and buttter, and will force them either under uncle Obama’s wing, producing envirotrash like GM, or out of business.

Cause it’s true!! GM will now be a Democratic political tool to advance green and socialist agenda!
