I will say that the most pitiful superbowl ad was the "GM Robot Suicide Dream" ad. I mean, how horrible ! Imagine being a laid off auto worker watching people make fun of your personal plight. GM should lay off their advertiser for that one. Oh, and of course, most of their management and union management for screwing them up so badly.
I totally agree with you on this. Both GM and Ford have closed their Atlanta plants over the last 6 months. I know several people who lost their jobs, their health insurance, and will have to find totally new jobs. In light of the staggering financial losses these companies have had, I found that commercial to be particularly insensitive.
