Ford Tells GM, NBC To Pull Apocalypse-Themed Chevy Super Bowl Ad
Ford Tells GM, NBC To Pull Apocalypse-Themed Chevy Super Bowl AdUPDATED! Ford's not pleased with the Chevy truck super bowl ad that implies Ford trucks aren't built tough enough to survive the Mayan apocalypse. How upset are they? They're so pissed the automaker's sent letters to both GM and NBC asking them to pull the ad from tonight's big game.
Well, shoot, this may be more fun than the Super Bowl itself.
We knew that the folks at Ford weren't happy with the "2012" Super Bowl ad on Friday when it was released, but sending a cease-and-desist right before the $7 million spot airs is an interesting maneuver.
In another twist, Motoramic reports that Ford is pressuring NBC not to air it.
We're still trying to sort out what's true, but so far all we can tell is that GM's having a great time at Ford's expense.
Ford Tells GM, NBC To Pull Apocalypse-Themed Chevy Super Bowl Ad "We stand by our claims in the commercial, that the Silverado is the most dependable, longest-lasting full-size pickup on the road," said GM Global Chief Marketing Officer Joel Ewanick in a press release. "We can wait until the world ends, and if we need to, we will apologize. In the meantime, people who are really worried about the Mayan calendar coming true should buy a Silverado right away."
