Ad parody gets even more honest about GM

Apparently, a slick video montage doesn't quite convince everyone that General Motors can claw its way out of the abyss and return to its former glory. Current TV's "InfoMania" show created this spoof (which has a bit of salty language up front) to highlight just how much random window dressing GM puts on an ad that's supposed to be frank and to the point. I'd love to see what clips got cut in editing. I think it could have ended a lot stronger with Mount Rushmore, sad clown, iron girder, Woody Guthrie, gold miner, tombstone, zombie hand.

I wonder if Current will do a parody of the two journalists they sent over to North Korea and never saw again. 12 years of hard labor. I'd be surprised to see the parody though, since their incredibly legit news team has yet to mention the story. What a joke.

This spoof made my day. Thanks.
