Wouldn't it bother you that the new GMC commercial is backed by a song, Eminence Front by The Who, that's about not being what you claim to be?

True, just an odd song choice for a commercial that is touting the quality of something

It's a put on.

It is also the last single by The Who to chart on the U.S. Hot 100.

Not really,
Isis could do a commercial for Chevy, and it would still be the only brand I will ever buy

Nah. My self-confidence comes from within and I couldn't care less about stupid crap like that.

I usually don't either. I don't pay that much attention but I happened to catch it this morning. Just an odd choice IMO

It bothers me more that the wheel wells are still rectangular.

Don't care. It's a badass song and I really don't like the Who

I think truck owners would be more upset with the Fiat commercial where the truck "pees itself" at the sight of a bunch of Fiats.

I still don't get the connection between GMC's and a pitcher who paints the corners being called a Rembrandt. I've never heard a pitcher get called a Rembrandt. If they're trying to say that the pitcher is an artist, like Rembrandt, and the people who make GMC's are artists, too, why not just call the truck makers Rembrandts? I don't know why baseball got dragged into this. And now they've got another one about well-dressed men, but frankly, I'm still getting my head around the baseball analogy.

Precision is the kind of sharp that slices through a crowd


So sick of that commercial

I like the Chevy commercial with the big doofus looking guy, when asked about the Motor Trend truck of the year, that says "Ford, there's no reason why it shouldn't be..."

They aren't rectangular, they just have sharp edges, painted by a Rembrandt
