Your tax dollars at work

Intro: The links aren't ads. Click them if you want to know more.

In a facepalm worthy marketing move on par with Microsoft's Windows 7 party, the folks at General Motors decided to make a little jingle for the release of their new Volt.

The song itself plays like they just watched Juno and decided that they should spend about seven minutes attempting to recreate the sound, but with the charisma of a popup ad.

To make matters worse, they decided to hire some dancers to come on stage with their much hyped Volt and dance around. The end result is a video so embarrassing it makes Dunder Mifflin's Michael Scott look like MI6's 007. (BTW that will be the first of what I am sure will be many James Bond references on this site.)

OK, enough talk (typing?). Here is the atrocity. Personally, my favorite part: 2:02 where they decided that the video needs a comment bubble for more horrible commercial-ness.

  1. Wow, the dancing does not match the music at all. Breakdancing to Juno? That's like moshing at a Fleetwood Mac concert.
