GM Thanksgiving Commercial "We All Fall Down": Thank You America We Just Ripped You Off

If you were watching football yesterday, a commercial featuring NASA, John Belushi and "Animal House", Popeye the Sailor Man, and Evil Kinevel probably got your attention; perhaps even delivered some emotion for you after your Thanksgiving commercial. After all, the message was quite positive--when you fall pick yourself up and make it better. Great and memorable moments in American history, right? Then the slap in the face occurs. We all fall down.



Thank you for helping us get back up. General Motors since 1908. Thank you for helping us get back up? Wait a minute.

I wanted to puke up my Thanksgiving turkey right there. I am so sick of General Motors trying to convince the people of America they have done something great over the past two years. General Motors still owes Americans $58 billion dollars in bailout money. As far as I am concerned they are still on the ground, broke and an example how not to run a business, and I won't buy another GM product either.

So what is GM really saying? Perhaps, thank you America, we produced crappy cars and we have stolen your money and put the country deeper into debt? Or is this really a thank you to the politicians who redistributed wealth from hard working Americans to General Motors? A number of politicians like Republican Billy Long took nice campaign contributions from GM--probably to overlook the fact they aren't paying the bailouts back.

By the way, why is it Republican politicians like Billy Long taking campaign money from General Motors after claiming to be fed up with these bailouts that GM is now thanking us for--the $58 billion they will never pay back to Americans? Hush money...
