watch these commercials before they're gone

Chevy's 'Make Your Own Tahoe Commercial' idea not exactly going as planned

Posted Mar 31st 2006 3:10PM by Chris Paukert
Filed under: Car Buying, SUVs, Contests, Etc., Marketing/Advertising, Videos, Chevrolet, GM

As part of a creative new ad campaign for the new Tahoe, General Motors has teamed up with Donald Trump's 'The Apprentice' franchise to create a website that allows prospectives to make their own commercials online. The website allows readers to select backgrounds, video shots, and input text in an attempt to win prizes ranging from a Jackson Hole Getaway to a trip to the Major League Baseball All-Star Game.

Rather predictably, however, certain surfers have been using the spot-building website for purposes that don’t exactly put Chevrolet’s newest in the best light. Unfortunately, GM's webmeisters appear to be asleep at the wheel, as we can't imagine these derogatory ads staying up on purpose.

*Check out these for a few examples: One Two Three Four Five Six

One and Four don't seem to be working, maybe they were taken down for being too great. Six is a must see.

I don't think the website has a place to browse the ads. I've been reading the comments from the article and checking branch sites to find ads people create and post the links to.

seven
eight
nine

If you want to make one and post: once you make the ad, but before you submit it, click on "send to friend" and send it to yourself.
