Truth in Advertising

A while back, Chevy asked the internet community to develop an advertisement for them. Chevy provided the video and users were supposed to provide the copy. Of course, with the internet's permanent resistants being primarily made up of left-leaning cynics, the resulting commercials weren't exactly what Chevy had in mind. Me, also being a left-leaning cynic, found it quite enjoyable to see one of the faceless multinationals officially sponsor the production of a commercial that tells you why you shouldn't buy their product. Just like how those tobacco companies are forced pay for all those horribly lame "Truth" ads that tell you not to smoke.
