Chevy Commercial Remixing – Whoops!
April 3rd, 2006
Chevrolet has released a tool allowing users to create (read: add titles to) their own commercials for the Chevy Tahoe, with a delightfully polka-ish soundtrack. Unfortunately, many users are pointing out such great features as “12 miles per gallon”, “releases hundreds of pounds of CO2 into the atmosphere”, and in this great example, ending on a screen that says, “What’ll you tell your kids?”
Comic gold. I hope Chevy takes a hint! And in fact, the Tahoe does get between 11 and 20 MPG, for you fact-checkers…

You know, I just logged on to blog about the same thing! _
This one is one of my favorites.
(Note: As can be imagined, Chevy is trying to take these down faster than people are putting them up, so some of these links may be broken before long.)

[...] A similar marketing attempt that backfired was the Chevy Apprentice site where netizens took action and spoke their minds with the open medium of videos provided by Chevy. The original site is now gone, but fortunately many of these culture jamming videos have been preserved via YouTube. [...]
