This morning I was watching This Week on ABC. During one of the commercial breaks a new Chevrolet advertisement appeared.
In the 60 second spot, the new Chevy CEO was walking and talking in glitzy Madison Avenue style in front of new or newly redesigned Chevy automobile products. The music soundtrack was upbeat and positive. I’m sure Mr. Chevy CEO was saying some really nice things about the quality and affordability of his company’s cars.
Only one problem. You could see him. You could hear the music. His mouth was moving. But nothing he said could be heard.
Not sure where the problem was. It could have been in the original production. It could have been a bad copy the network played. It could have been a bad copy for the local station. In any event, it was another embarrassing moment for Government Motors.

GM has stiffed ad agencies and networks to the tune of

The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.
Old GM vs. New GM
acat (Diary) Sunday, September 13th at 8:16PM EST (link)The old GM, the one that’s out of money, has all the debts, and all the liabilities for lawsuits and warranty claims.
I’m wondering how long the Mainly Stupid Media will wait before demanding that “the government” step in and “take care of these tragic victims”. I’m guessing that, had the economy not tanked, we’d already be hearing about this….
Regarding the ad malfunction, while it could be deliberate, my guess is accidental … but it is funny.
