No, literally.

The song:

The dance:
<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/xvwTMZNWGuk&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/xvwTMZNWGuk&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&fs=1&quot; type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

I'm not kidding. This is completely for real. GM spent good money on this.

And I thought Chrysler's new ad company had some truly "special" ideas. Boy was I wrong!

    It's called government. No incentive to make money.

    The jingle sounds like it's done by that group that did the Music for the movie Juno and I don't mind it. Kind of repetative. Simple but catchy. But the dance.......OMG that sucked so bad. Something you might see at a middle school gymnasium assembly. I know GM is hurting but seriously, that was terrible.

    Clearly their budget for cheap toy cars is low. I understand from recent car shows is that the car companies are realizing most people don't want a lawnmower, and are responding with American muscle.

    Were those dancers first round cuts from 'You Think You Can Dance?'
    One of them almost fell over just standing there. . .

    I was hoping for either:
    A. a top to fall down or
    B. a neck to snap during the head spin.
    Maybe next time!
