AWESOME PARODY CHEVY AD ON A CHEVY WEBSITE!

OK, here's the deal. Chevy has a "make your own Tahoe ad" contest that allows anyone with a browser to whip up their own TV spot for the Chevy Tahoe. Some "tree hugging" hippie-type had the brains to take full advantage of this by doing the best thing anyone could do--make a commercial slamming both Chevy for making GIANT vehicles like the Tahoe as well as stupid customers who don't really need GIANT vehicles like the Tahoe but buy them anyway.

For now the ad is [http://www.chevyapprentice.com/view.php?country=us&uniqueid=b3df6dec-0caa-1029-98eb-0013724ff5a7| here].

Though, I suspect it won't last long there. So, I've managed to post a copy of the video shot right off a laptop's screen (crappy audio and all) right here. Click the pic below to download the 5MB mp4 (iPod compatible, natch):
