i like that commercial. however, i'm not a huge corvette fan myself. still, if i had one, as long as it wasn't one of the 80's models, then i wouldn't complain either.

Removal of the ad came after safety advocates complained.Auto safety groups sent a letter yesterday to GM Chairman and ChiefExecutive Rick Wagoner protesting the ad and saying it sent a dangerousmessage. The ad had been running during the Olympics. GM spokesman Joe Jacuzzi said the automaker pulled the ad in response tothat letter and other consumer feedback. The ad, titled "A Boy's Dream," features a dream sequence in which a clearlyunderage boy is shown behind the wheel of a Corvette, making unrealisticmaneuvers at high speeds. Judith Stone is president of Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety. Shesigned a letter to Wagoner welcoming GM's decision. Jacuzzi said the ad never was intended to depict a real-life situation.Figures someone has to ruin it! It was a commercial after a dream people, a fake, make believe!

well we got a kick out of the little disclaimer on the bottom of the screen, "do not drive underage or wrecklessly. this is only an advertisement"

However, not knowing all the circustances to this story, the keys should not have been in this kids sight. And he probably would have done this kind of thing wither there was a commercial he saw on TV or not. Very sad that even though there are disclaimers, people fear the safety of all of us, act as if we are stupid people and kids do not know better. Teens should use condoms, they are advertised on TV, yet some teens do not use them. The same Detroit paper is posting responses from people on the ad. Most agree it is fake, a dream, made up and people or kids know better, give them some credit. Where does it end...

That was the first time I saw that one! I think I am going to try and lift a tree above my head and throw it, like Shane did and then complain to GM that if he can do it why can't I? And they should pull the ad since people like me will try and do that!
