Controversial Corvette commercial from the public....

First time I saw this commercial I thought it needed to be banned.

Corvette Ad With Young Driver Taken Off Air
POSTED: 12:15 pm EDT August 25, 2004

DETROIT -- General Motors has pulled a Corvette television ad that shows a young boy driving wildly through city streets.

Removal of the ad came after safety advocates complained.

Auto safety groups sent a letter yesterday to GM Chairman and Chief Executive Rick Wagoner protesting the ad and saying it sent a dangerous message.

The ad had been running during the Olympics.

GM spokesman Joe Jacuzzi said the automaker pulled the ad in response to that letter and other consumer feedback.

The ad, titled "A Boy's Dream," features a dream sequence in which a clearly underage boy is shown behind the wheel of a Corvette, making unrealistic maneuvers at high speeds.

Judith Stone is president of Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety. She signed a letter to Wagoner welcoming GM's decision.

Jacuzzi said the ad never was intended to depict a real-life situation.
 
I like it, what's to complain about?

A kid dreaming that he's driving a vette?

UHHHHH, kids dream about that and more without ever seeing this commercial.

I agree. No matter what, some group will find fault with it and complain.
