Truck Commercial I Find Offensive:

[Jokerman]

A recent commercial for GMC trucks doesn't show them hauling loads or conquering rough terrain, it shows them racing through an ABANDONED FACTORY!

Am I being too sensitive or is this a slap in the face of all the autoworkers who have lost their jobs and can no longer afford the basics, let alone a new truck.

I guess the location was cheap and easy to find.

1. Is this supposed to be a sarcastic response to ARWALDEN's thread?

Just asking.

2. No

Arwalden's thread just reminded me of the abandoned factory commercial and I was wondering if anyone else noticed it.

after all, I've done it enough of it myself by parodying OTHER people's threads.

3. How about those BMW commercials?

talking a real slap in the face to us who can't afford them.
It's classist, hurtful and it should be stopped.

4. I think being offended in general is a good passtime...

...but there are other things you can do, like collect stamps, or get into fantasy football or something.

5. I'm offended by people who fart in elevators.

Unless it's me, of course.

6. SUV commericals ...

... showing idiots racing around on back-roads really piss me off. As an off-roader, encountering some nitwit barrelling down a dirt road throwing rocks, gravel and dust all over just like that in some of the SUV commericals really makes my blood boil. I usually pray to the trail gods that the nitwit finds a nice patch of road to slip out on and for natural selection to take place.
