Super Bowl XLI: General Motors Robot Snuff Film

Hot amature robot action

It sounds like there’s another controversy trumping-up attempt going on over yet one more Super Bowl commercial, this time against General Motor’s sad robot ad.

The controversy is supposedly two-fold: relatives of suicide victims and laid-off GM workers are both (supposedly) finding a reason to be deeply offended with the ad.

I’ll admit when I saw the ad, I was kind of surprised the commercial went as far as depicting the robot droid killing itself. Even though it was revealed to be a dream (warning: spoilers preceding this parenthetical statement) I will admit it is somewhat shocking imagery.

(Oh there is more…)
