So .... I'm a lousy parent who has no control over my kids, but you should trust my choice in vehicles? Yeah, I'm just not getting that.

Maybe it's just that I'm such a curmudgeon but the more commercials I see, the more I appreciate their letting me know NOT to buy their product ... since it's obviously marketed for such a low IQ segment of the population. As well, I've made an active goal to refuse to use any product that says 'two times' in their advertizing instead of 'twice'.

It's gotten to the point now where car commercials aren't even about the car anymore. Glad GM's commercials haven't gone that route, at least 80% of the commercial is about the car.
