We all know understand what product placement is. Look at the big picture. The issue is they are pushing electric cars and banning gas cars while they are running out of electricity. Also these hollywood idiots want to get rid of all fossil fuels when they use more fossil fuels than anyone and can’t live without it. Enough of this crap.
The big picture is that GM is trying to push a product. Same as any other placement.
Another person that misses the point. The Left’s war on fossil fuels is the issue. Not whether product placement is new or not.
Yeah, but this could be fun.
The temperature will be negative ten degrees here tonight—they need to have some reality TV—race some electric vehicles and see how far they go before then run out of juice.
Nothing in the multiverse will cause me to have a GM POS again.
Corvettes excepted, of course.
It’s not just GM pushing a product. It’s a woke war on energy. They want to get rid of your gasoline run car, your gasoline run stove, gasoline period. Or they will regulate it so it becomes so expensive that you won’t want to use it. And people who say this is all standard practive, they just want to advertise a product, don’t get it. Today it’s stoves, yesterday it was cars, tomorrow it will be dryers. After that it will be something else. Because they can’t stop.
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
That's some really creepy but long-range cultural manipulation.
But then again, so are our commercials featuring stupid white males, intellectual or physically superior POCs, and (don't get me started) on TV series and movie casting.
And the lunatic Left is the the lunatic Left.
“I think you can see with this we’re working together to create a blueprint for the whole entertainment industry in how to think about normalizing EVs and showcasing this all-electric future, because we all know it’s good for all of us if we accelerate that transition,” she told the trade magazine.
Finally someone who gets it.
“How dare GM promote their EVs using the exact same method every car company, including GM, has used to promote cars for decades!”
Sorry, just not getting worked up.
We’ve been watching the old Route 66 series which, IIRC, was sponsored by GM. It seems that EVERY vehicle in every scene is a Chevy or Caddy. (I love it. The Chevys of the early ‘60s are my favorites.)
Maybe woke, but not capitalist. GM has a direct line to DC.
You are getting working up about adversiting. You missed the point completely. Read further or just keep making obnoxious, dishonest, moronic, and ignorant comments about how it’s just promotion. The article makes clear what the goal is and what the problem is. And these companies are being heavily subsidized to push EV’s. If they weren’t they wouldn’t be doing it..
GM’s chief marketing officer Deborah Wahl said the goal is to normalize electric vehicles in an effort to “accelerate the transition” away from gas-powered vehicles.
“I think you can see with this we’re working together to create a blueprint for the whole entertainment industry in how to think about normalizing EVs and showcasing this all-electric future, because we all know it’s good for all of us if we accelerate that transition,” she told the trade magazine.
Electric vehicles have come under criticism for their dubious environmental qualities — mainly for relying on fossil fuel power grids for charging.
As Breitbart News noted, the left’s push for electric vehicles comes at a time of soaring electricity prices for households, making it more expensive to drive the average electric vehicle 100 miles than a gas-powered car for the same distance.
Place EVs in Entertainment Content
Bon fires at camp smores and hot dogs in huge supply.
I have been a Netflix rental customer since 2006. In that time I have rented 1200+ movies.
I have always chosen which movies to rent. Netflix promotes other movies and their streaming service as well.
But lately Nflix has become more aggressive, via email, about their streaming service in which I have no interest. I sent them an email threatening to leave the rental service if they continued their streaming emails. I never heard from Nflix again but their streaming emails quit. I continue the rental program.
“One more reason to stay out of the netfix cesspool.”

Yes. We cancelled Netflix two years ago.
I’m not worked up at all. I’m making fun of you. You have no point. You’re ranting in a paranoid fashion over something that’s been going on probably longer than you’ve been alive. You sound like a fool. “OMG they’re advertising products I don’t want!!!!!! The horror!!!!” Really, it’s dumb
