GM pulls advertisement that offended cyclists [Updated] - latimes.com: General Motors Co. is killing an advertisement aimed at college students after receiving complaints that it makes fun of people who use bicycles for transportation.
That ad has a headline stating, “reality sucks” and depicts a nerdy looking guy wearing a helmet and riding a bicycle being passed by a cute young woman in the passenger seat of a car. It then goes on to say, “Stop pedaling … start driving” and provides information about discount pricing for GM products such as the new 2012 Chevrolet Sonic subcompact sedan and the giant GMC Sierra 1500 truck.

GM pulls advertisement that offended cyclists [Updated] - latimes.com
Ok, now I know why I'm a "Ford man." Actually, I'm waiting for the Ford electric before I get another car. And although I'm from Oklahoma, I don't need a big truck to get across town in this little college town. And my bike is hip and chic and fun, compared to the colossal overkill of one person commuting 2 miles in some monster vehicle.
