GM pulls Guy Ritchie car ad after protest

DETROIT: Protests from seven safety groups in the US have prompted General Motors to pull a television ad that shows a young boy driving a Corvette sports car so recklessly that it goes airborne, officials of the automaker say. Want to see what all of the “hubub” is about? Check out the Commercial - Preview (372KB), Full Length: Low Res (1.3MB) High Res (3.8MB).

wtf why would it be any concern? any person who's driving this car to begin with isn't going to be having the keys readily accessible to children anyways, blah stupid. Good commercial actually looks good i think and im not a big fan of vettes.

Damn it,I hate those fucking safety groups! graemlins/bsflag.gif Not that one commercial is a huge deal, but what is it going to be next?

Will everything be round, dull, and padded in the future??

People are intelligent enough to figure these things out on their own, and if they can't, they deserve what they get. graemlins/doh.gif

There is an article about this in the latest Motor Trend. It talks about this commercial and others that were taken off the air because of what some might think. It is a shame that the ones that make decisions about what we can see think that our kids would take our sports cars out for a joy drive. It comes down to the fact that they (the people who make the decisions) were not raised to have respect for high performance cars.
