My Chevy Apprentice Ad

Get it while it's hot... this offer won't last long!

The short story: someone at Chevy came up with the brilliant idea to hold a contest where their loyal customers and adoring public would compete to create the winning "commercial that brings the best Tahoe ever to life". Naturally, when you create a tool that allows you to combine the cheesiest video clips EVER (flowers bowing at the SUV, mountains to tear through, pornographic shots of the fabulous rear entrance opening) with text to supplement the images... people are going to use your tool to create commercials that you might not like.

And it was the most fun I had all day. Though the product would be much better if I had actually put more than 5 minutes into it.

I don't think this will stick around for long, so make sure you make your video now!

I will try and Youtube mine tonight so that it won't disappear when the tool does.

And if you want more, check out the "Tahoe" tag on YouTube. I particularly liked this one.
