Probly a greasy hempwearing idiot that smells like incense and piss. Its lame but usually the car show performances are. I agree with the lightning shaved houndmound. Ill even help do them.

Aww........ damnit GM, you were doing so good for awhile...........

Now I know how a parent feels when their kid brings home an F filled report card.

'I still love you, honey. I'm just very dissapointed in you.'

A while ago I tried to watch it. I only made it to 0:56. Sadly I didn't mute it. For the next hour or so that dumb*** melody was running through my head like a bad infection. I really feel for the poor people in attendance with no pause or mute button to hit. Will that be what Hell is like? Holy crap!!!!

Reportedly, the cringe-inducing interpretation of an electric-powered future took place every hour during the ten days of the show.

Talk about driving people away from an exhibit..lol..

If you're doing a promo for a product you're trying to sell, wouldn't you try to feature the product in the video? They are not trying to sell dancers, they're trying to sell a car! What the heck was that? Maybe they tried to make it as weird as possible to attract attention?? You know that mentality......bad publicity is better then no publicity at all.

The Volt was in the video, off to the side. You could see it about halfway through the song. Well, half the car at least.

Yah Id figure with the technology and all the other crap the best way would have been a straight forward technical and factual presentation. It does seem silly and looks like a bunch of cougars dancing to Paula Abdul songs.

But if they presented facts, Fox news would have no interest in it.
