GM: Everyone Falls Down

8cd03gro · 11-25-2010, 01:15 PM

Anyone see this commercial yet? I think it's great and almost clapped after I saw it. This is exactly how GM should have been addressing the bailout debacle all along. I couldn't find a video anywhere, so I'm guessing I may have seen the first airing. The commercial consists of a fallen boxer getting back up, along with other people that have 'fallen' and are recovering, with some motivational music. At the end it says, "Everyone falls down. . . thanks for helping us get back up."

Very good commercial. They just aired it on the Partiots/Lions game.

Everyone doesn't fall down but recognizing the aid given to them will be greatly appreciated.

Same place I saw it. Typical lions, pulling toward the W in the first half, but they'll crash in the second.

Maybe not as hard as GM did, but yes it's about recognizing what the public has sacrificed to keep GM afloat after years of throwing money away on stupid decisions and greedy execs.

I saw it. Thought it was a nice commercial. Good thing certain people thought GM was worth saving.

We've all been hit with something at some point and 'fallen down' and if we haven't already, then its coming up. Some don't fall very far, and some recover quick, but you can never avoid taking at least one fall.

Are you talking about people or corporations?

The logic applies to both, so I don't really see the relevance in making a distinction. And besides, corporations are legally people anyway so making the distinction matters even less.
