OnStar Commercials
anyone else P.O.'d when ever they see those OnStar commercials? this filth i have not yet seen advertise with a tactic which dosnt involve fear..... to sum up the commercials it goes like this "if you dont have onstar, your kids will be kidnaped, you wont get help in any car accident, and your car will fall apart at any secound"

2. Yeah, they're ridiculous.
But I guess if you can sell a phony war with fear, you can sell this thing the same way.

4. But it is true,
I was minding my on bees wax in my on star car, and all has been well. I then rented a car without onstar, and no sooner did I pull away then a man rear ended us, kidnaped my kids, and then the asshat locked my keys inside.

Man, I will never go anywhere without on-star... Just Kidding.

I think all of the ads sound like some west Texas big haired white gal who just wrapped her SUV around a school bus... and thanks Jesus...

6. Yes, and its all a plot, man......
We buy the Northstar and then they can follow us where ever we go, whatever we do. It's like inviting a satellite to join you on your trip. With Northstar they can hover in and see us, no matter what we are doing, saying, reading or talking about with others. Eeeeeeeek! They can do this anyway!!!! We are dooooooomed!!!!!!!!!!!!

7. OnStar makes me more than a little uneasy
Edited on Mon Oct-24-05 10:36 PM by tularetom
Would you be comfortable driving a car made by a company which contributes heavily to big gov repubs, with a system in your car which allows your every move to be tracked?

I'm just sayin


On edit: forgot the:tinfoilhat:
