Well that was kinda embarassing. But in spirit of the net I'm putting it on facebook, just for the cringe factor. LOL

Actually this could be rather clever marketing, whether intentional or not.
Think about it, a launch so bad it gets a lot of people talking about it (as we are) people posting it on Facebook (as has been done) and there is even a ring tone of it. A marketing campaign that has gone viral without Chevrolet having to be seen as desperate.

I turned it off after about 30 seconds. The stupid song, and dancing routine was enough for me.

I hate marketing. but I get that this will appeal to your average person simply because its catchy and lame. Its probably genius from a marketing point of view.
And thats why I hate marketing, it reflects the mainstream lame. Like that new moon movie that was popular so I will make a pact never to see it, ever.

I guess that happens when you have about three fiddy to spend on marketing because the company is so broke.
Stand up comedian Bill Hicks (RIP) was my first thought. "Does anywhere here work in marketing, if you do, please kill yourself now. Oh, you think there's a punchline, well no, just kill yourself. Now." |

OK, an update... the marketing manager who thought up this monstrosity has been "re-assigned" to the truck division. I can only imagine this kind of idiotic idea will go down a treat with the kinds of blokes who buy Chevy trucks! Bahaha!
