So, why was it banned?

Apparently there were people complaining that it showed driving that was "too agressive" on a public roadway.

So GM pulled it.

[Blevyou know]

no, it was the fact that an underage driver was driving it like that... oh well the co-balt commercials are much better... Hopefully i will be me working with the next set of marketing ideas(pipe dream) I love advertising.

GM Pulls 'Jack Flash' Corvette Ad
By Michael Ellis
DETROIT (Reuters) - Protests from seven safety groups prompted General Motors Corp. <GM.N> 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 said on Wednesday

The ad, featuring the Rolling Stones song "Jumpin' Jack Flash," has aired repeatedly during the Olympics. The groups, including Consumers Union and the Center for Auto Safety, complained that it was "the most dangerous" spot they have seen in recent years.............

It's all BS if you ask my opinion.

Yep, total BS. There are plenty of other car commercials that show cars sliding around corners at high speeds and various other maneuvers at high speeds smokin the tires.

Maybe the insinuation of someone who was too young to even have a license pulling those moves in the new Vette was just a little too much.

Cool nevertheless!

Yep, everytime I race a car off the light with my Hemi and win, I wait for all the blondes to come running and congratulate me. Never happens though.

That was really funny. I'm still laughing. I guarantee you that it was a bunch of moms who complained. Some people will just oppose anything no matter how harmless it is. I've seen the 10 year old kid down the block from me eyeing my car..... uh oh!
