Walk!

That's an excellent, subversive use of the provided tools!

Roll your own...

Here is the link to the online interface where you can create your own ad and – metaphorically speaking – spike an SUV: http://www.chevyapprentice.com/apprentice.php My bet is Chevrolet will have to either ignore the spoof ad or try to spin it as being all in good fun. The damage from doing damage control at this stage would be greater than waiting for the buzz to blow over.

Good thing I'm not a betting man...

So... they did yank the spoof. It appears that the 'big three' are feeling a bit touchier on the subject of peak oil and the impending collapse of their industry than I thought!

Anyone care to wager how long this "spoofercial" stays online?

Great April Fool's joke on Chevy! I think this'll be yanked by week's end (April 7). Jim Zack

Chevy Tahoe ad still there!

Denise, The link in Steve Kane's original post still works for me. Here's the direct link on ChevyApprentice site. BTW, I was watching the NCAA championship game (OK, I admit it, I'm a UFlorida alumnus), and I saw a "real" ad with the same Computer Generated (CG) assets of the truck in nature without people. I chuckled inwardly... Great example of corporate disobedience! Cheers, Jim Z

Running Man

This feels a bit like the Arnold movie of the same name. We're the underground getting the message out until discovered. I'm posting this link everywhere I can while it lasts.

Sent spoof Tahoe commercial to TheYesMen.org

This seems like it fits The Yes Men's agenda, so I forwarded it to them. Great "Identity Correction!" Cheers, Jim Z
