Not go to “Chery” country and give them money ???

Maybe GM finally found the balls it lost in the 60’s.

GM has decided to not advertise in the olympics and instead pay GM_Sales one billion dollars to annoy the crap out of everyone on LLN. Rumor has it GM_Sales thus sold his Aveo and upgraded to a Yaris with his newfound wealth.

They’re not renewing the contract because they can’t finance 900 million on advertising at this moment.

Yes, Transformers was a MUCH better move for GM. And b.t.w, the Autobots kick ass!

No! I can’t wait for the x-games to go away, and if people advertise them, they’ll continue to exist.

55 AMG..Its worth paying 900 mil for GMSALES NOT to try to help them. This is smart though, Olympic games are declining in viewers so good idea to pull the ads. Also GM, if your the official car of Mrs Universe, pull that too.

I love the Olympics but the USA is definitely not the place to be spending big bucks advertising in them. Movies with big robots and explosions? Yeah, that sounds more up our alley.

The Olympics suffers in America just like the FIFA World Cup: there is no American broadcasted feeder series that keeps Americans interested year long.
Good call GM. Stop wasting money on things that don’t work and make better products.

New Olympic event. pushing a broken-down 4 year-old honda from the offramp on which it breathed its last onto a side road where the junkyard truck can tow it away. Teams limited to four members, including a “driver.”

Olympics only has one good event, the 100 meters. Although i do have a crush on summer sanders

WNBA…nah, I’d think they’d get atleast 20 viewers on the olympics compared to the 12 that watch the WNBA. LOL
