General Motors is trying hard to move forward after everything that has happened in the last few years. The auto giant would not be here without the help of the government and the hard-working taxpayer. In a brand-new 60-second holiday ad spot, The General shows us that people and things can fall down or fail, but they get back back up… even if they need help doing so.
A boxer gets knocked down, a rocket falls back to its launch platform, Popeye almost drowns and Evel Knievel lands on his back instead of his bike. Each situation looks rocky but turns out okay in the end. GM shows these clips and then acknowledges its own fall while also thanking us (i.e. taxpayers) for picking it back up.
The clip is heavy on the schmaltzy side, but it’s nice to think General Motors realizes who kept it in business. While we’d prefer some stock, a simple “thank you” message will have to do for now. You can see the ad for yourself by clicking past the jump and giving it a look.
