What a stupid commercial. They had a robot dream that he (it) lost it's job. So he's despondent and ends up roaming the streets and then jumps into the lake.

I agree, kind of stupid! I would like to see more about the proven reliability, new styling and the great gas milage that these trucks are now getting! Do we have a link or a fourm to "tell Chevy" what we the dedicated GM people would like to see or would like to say?

BOSTON The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention has called on General Motors to pull a TV spot in its "Obsessed with quality" campaign that depicts a GM factory robot that dreams it gets laid off and eventually kills itself.

The group said it found the ad, which aired on Sunday's Super Bowl, "offensive and potentially dangerous."
