I can see why GM pulled it in way. With all the poor excuse for parents out there just placing there kids in front of the tv and not being involved in "their" kids lives it does not shock me. The first time some retarded kid goes out driving at the age of 10 in daddy's car some deadbeat parent will sue GM for "condoning" under age driving as they saw it on TV. Heaven forbid parents actually become part of their child's life. Not to rant I just get sick of all these groups complaining about violence on tv and sex and what not. Parents control what their children watch. Dont penalize the masses for a few douchebag irresponsible parents that cant control their children and blame it on TV.

I totally agree- its so pathetic that some people are wound up so damn tight and think no one is able to make their own decisions that they can't see that commercial is nothing more than cute/funny.

It doesn't suprise me. PETA would probably stop Pontiac if they tried the tiger under the hood slogan again. Everything is going so P.C. Dodge even changed their new Caliber TV ad with the little fairy. The guy use to say "silly fairy" before he gets changed into a "fairy". They deleted that part.

i think that commercial is awesome. GM would be doing better if they were allowed to play ads like that and appeal to the "american dream" sentiment IMO.

And seriously, what kids dont already dream about driving vettes? I know i sure did when i was little, and i tore up alot more crap than in that video

I can understand the BS reasoning of underage kids driving, but still love the idea and the commercial is sweet!

Exactly, it's okay that kids play Gran Theft Auto, but they can't have dreams of driving a pimp car and having a girl wink at them....all is right in this world.
