DU's Chevy Tahoe Entries: - Democratic Underground

I think I know what I'm doing for the rest of the night!! :rofl:

There were some more threads in the Lounge, too... not that you need to add more! This is excellent, thank you!!

and it was awesome... but I am a technical dumbass and I didn't know how to link it, so yeah...

Bummer man...

there's an option at the bottom saying "send to a friend" or something similar. When you click on it, just send it to your own e-mail address, and they'll give you a link. :hi:

Oh well... thanks though!

At least, that's what it seemed like to me.

I've been waiting 10 minutes to get mine.

I never received one.

Do you have a spam filter on?

i've yet to receive anything on aol or hotmail but gmail and yahoo accounts served em up hot!

and i did check spam in all of my accounts.

they are starting to pop up over there and it looks like they'll be permanent

When I sent the email to myself, it went straight to the trash folder.

that`s a lot of work! bookmarking

A great "vacation" when I get this writing completed. Thanks for compiling these! :hi:

I was hoping to get some sleep tonight, but according to the colors of the links, I missed like, half of them.

thanks a lot :eyes:

oh well.... so many links so little time...

I knew there were a lot of them but I had no idea there was this many!

Excellent work everyone! :rofl:

btw, I did make another...

http://www.chevyapprentice.com/view.php?country=us&uniq...

Not that the first wasn't funny, too :-)

OMG, you are one WONDERFUL human being!!!! :loveya:

This baby is being bookmarked and saved for posterity. Thank you SO MUCH. My husband's been trying to get through the original thread, and finally gave up - I can't wait to show him this one.

BIG KISS to you, Lars!!

Glad to help out, northofdenali! :hi:

http://www.chevyapprentice.com/view.php?country=us&uniq...

This is smart, readable, and spot on message!

BEST LINE: "In a world with limited resources...you don't need a GPS...to know where this road leads."
:applause:

These are my favorites: ms. smiler, northzax, & Prophet

These were excellent: Gato Moteado, Herbster, HEyHEY, ocelot

Something tells me Donald Trump would get a kick out of a lot of these.

enter their contest.

http://www.chevyapprentice.com/view.php?country=us&uniq...

Does anyone know if they pull ads that are not part of this promotion?

He loves all the liberal commercials.

I couldn't get a URL to mine because of problems with their email automailer config (DNS broken.)

So you'll just have to imagine:

SUV on rock cliff: "Who Says I Don't Need an SUV?"
SUVs driving over dunes: "I do this kind of crap every day!"
SUV's on waterfall edge: "See! In the middle! That's Me! Honest."
SUV's on winter mountain: "This is my shortcut to work."
Single SUV's on winter mountain: "And this parking spot is always open."
SUV pulling up to stream cliff: "Sometimes I wish mine had rockets"
Psychedelic bouncing videofeedback SUV: "FKFHHHHHHFHFHFHHH!"
Green screen: "(That was me making rocket noises.)"
SUV driving in snow: "When the lake is frozen I get home..."
SUV Backing up to trailor hitch: "Just in time to watch the commercials..."
Green screen: "I hope there's a neat NASCAR crash today."

Now, that's a Chevy Ad I want to see!

:bounce:

both the entries, and effort to gather all these links!

:thumbsup:

Lars39!

dp

Tried to send it to myself, but it won't send, for some reason.

These are just wonderful.

Devilgrrl, that sum's it up perfectly!

With all of these in one place how can we not have our own in house contest? Peace

Thanks to SaintLousBlues and merh for finding this! :rofl:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

Thanks for pulling them all together!

I am

and joining in the fun by adding my own:
http://www.chevyapprentice.com/view.php?country=us&uniq...

If you send me the link I'll go thru that one, too. :hi:

The one at the top of the page.

Thanks for putting this thread together! :hi:

or dvd or whatever it takes? When Chevy kills the link, they will all disappear, and we will have lost a treasure..

It could be a premium for the next DU fundraiser drive..

I saved the links, but soon they will just be dead links :cry:

A DUer gave me an idea using Rush Limpballs:

http://www.chevyapprentice.com/view.php?country=us&uniq...

I came up with this one late last night and I didn't have Internet access so I had to wait until I went to the library:

http://www.chevyapprentice.com/view.php?country=us&uniq...

Here's a political one I came up on my own... I am not sure what ya'll would think of this one.

http://www.chevyapprentice.com/view.php?country=us&uniq...

Finally the last one, also a non political one but it makes me wonder the the Chevy suits would think.

http://www.chevyapprentice.com/view.php?country=us&uniq...

http://www.chevyapprentice.com/view.php?country=us&uniq...

do these links run in slow motion for everyone else too?

http://www.chevyapprentice.com/view.php?country=us&uniq...

Any way to download these in case The Donald deletes them?

and start posting. Here's my offering.

http://www.chevyapprentice.com/view.php?country=us&uniq...

No soundtrack, sorry. My geriatric computer's deaf.

They sure made a big splash- on the cheap. They created buzz- did some "reaction formation," receieved some great feedback- and got people looking at the Tahoe.

Second Coming....

Good stuff.

starring everyone's favorite first couple.

sheesh, newbies. :evilgrin:

Everyone, please welcome my sister. She's unsure of her username, btw, and thought about changing it - I told her she couldn't register multiple names, and here's what she had to say: "So it would be possible to change my name, but it would be against the rules. Hmmm. I'd like to think that the rules don't apply to me, because I've never posted under the other name. I'd like to think I'm above the law. Secretly, I'm a Republican."

shoulda been my user name.

http://www.chevyapprentice.com/view.php?country=us&uniq...

And thanks for the welcome, sis.

Imagine being in the office going through all the submissions? It would be a great job!

http://www.chevyapprentice.com/view.php?country=us&uniq...

Borrowed an idea and changed tack a bit....

There were several Lounge threads with tahoe ads too, in case anybody's interested. :hi:

My second one freaked out my sister. After all these years she still doesn't understand my dark sense of humor.

Check it out: http://news.com.com/1606-2_3-6056633.html?tag=cnetfd.sd

I haven't had a chance to view all the entries, so I don't know who the two are that made the ones they show.
Maybe someone here does.

Great job on putting this list together, by the way. Excellent.

This is neat, we need some sort of commercial/video generator
like this for activists to use on a regular basis.

love that one, impactful

I don't think this is what Chevy had planned for...

Posted Mar 31st 2006 3:46PM by Chris Thilk
Filed under: Viral, Online

A couple weeks ago Chevy launched a site as a promotional tie-in with The Apprentice looking for consumers to create commercials for the new Chevy Tahoe. Users were given some audio and video collateral to work with and given the opportunity to piece them together as they saw fit. Well I don't think they quite anticipated what might result from giving the kids the keys to the car, so to speak. At least three examples have been found of ads that use the Tahoe as background for rants against the war in Iraq, the dependence of the U.S. on foreign oil and more.

The problem Chevy now finds themselves with is that these ads were created on their site using their content. This isn't something that was edited together at home and uploaded to YouTube. This is part of the Chevy Apprentice promotion for good or for ill. So what's Chevy to do? Do they leave the ads there and continue to take their lumps on snarky blogs or do they take them down and then be accused of censorship? it's a tough spot and points to a problem some companies are having with citizen-generated content: it doesn't always play by the established marketing book.

It's better, to my mind, to embrace and acknowledge the good work people are doing on their own, independent of corporately-sanctioned stuff like this. Let passionate users know you here them and that they've contributed to the success of their favorite brand in their own small way. And if something isn't appropriate the company can simply ignore it or at least engage in a conversation about any misinformation the creator might be operating with. Chevy is in a bind because it's on their site and part of their promotion. By not worrying about giving people an outlet - they already have that - and focusing more on what's already out there companies can avoid these embarrassing binds in the future.

Get rid of the 'http://http\' and you should be ok.

Or just make them and get the email link? Just curious. I think they are all masterpieces.

I had soooo much trouble trying to send my ad to my e-mail address -- I must have done it about 6 or 7 times. It occurred to me that 'maybe I should enter the contest, then my e-mail will go through'. So, yes, I'm one of the idiots who submitted an entry.

Btw, I was finally successful in getting my ad sent to me. A DUer suggested that I use mailinator.com & it worked like a charm.

Hmmm, is that the plural of Tahoe? Tahi?

I'm back in physical therapy now. The prick who hit me broadside told me it was my fault. It's probably my fault that gas is $3 gallon, too, and that the planet will be back in an ice age before he's done with his car payments.

with my real name and address. We'll see if that was a good idea or not.

Was wondering if anyone else did.

I wanted to preach beyond the choir.

Glad to be here. Been lurking for years.

The liberal activist site MoveOn ran a contest, Bush in 30 Seconds, in which people were invited to create and submit political TV ads critical of the Bush Administration, with the winning entry to air in swing states and on national television. (CBS has refused to air the winning ad during the Super Bowl, however.)

Over 1,500 ads were submitted. Out of them, two compared Bush to Hitler. After years of talking about "feminazis" and "Hitlery" Clinton, the right wing suddenly felt that Third Reich references were absolutely indefensible. Republicans expressed new-found outrage, and the corporate media dutifully tsk-tsked. MoveOn pulled the ads from their contest Website.

Anyone know how long these links will last?

but i had to use one's words in my CHEVY TAHOE ad.

i blogged about this and posted some of my faves while waiting to be approved to join yous guys.

can you figger out which one was inspired by the repug?

http://www.PatriotActs.blogspot.com

Hi folks. Sorry. This is my first post, and I'm not sure if I have to wait before posting new threads, but I put up a site where people can

vote on and submit the best Chevy Tahoe (environmental themed, mostly) commercial.

http://heavyonthechevy.crispynews.com

We've gotten quite a few people to submit their videos, so I thought this forum (since I saw a thread on the Chevy Tahoe ad) would be interested in contributing their voice.

Its up over on totaltactics, and grist. Hopefully we can get more people involved in the voting and submitting!
