If I were Chevy I'd be demanding my money back - the staged photos look pitiful, and the spokesman pretending that he wished the paid actors hadn't removed the coins is just an embarrassment.
Can't watch the video where I am, so can't say if that appears any different
The all-pervasive nature of advertising is just becoming overbearing through stunts like this.
Bernard - not criticising you for posting this, as it has value for drawing attention to the points I raise ^^ (and possibly the discussion that follows).
Can't bring myself to upvote the story, so have upvoted the creation instead.It does look pretty staged.
What would have been funny is to see someone just pry off the board the pennies are attached to.]]>7/16/2008 6:10:29 PM2008-07-16T18:10:29+01:00290493http://www.plime.com/l/68871/1/xml_widget.rss#q3<![CDATA[pocksucket @ 7/16/2008 8:14:08 AM]]> If I were Chevy I'd be demanding my money back - the staged photos look pitiful, and the spokesman pretending that he wished the paid actors hadn't removed the coins is just an embarrassment.
