stupid car ad mystery solved

furtechThere's an ad on TV that has a high-rotation and has been annoying and puzzling me for a while. The ad is for the Chrysler Town and Country minivan. In the ad, three boys challenge their "friend" to a "race". The quotes are because clearly (from the following actions) the main character, Parker, is running for his life. This is no "race".
Mystery solved: apparently, the original ad featured dialogue that had three bullies chasing Parker to beat him up. In fact, at the end of the original version of the ad one of the bullies shouts to the kid in the car that, "We'll get you tomorrow!"
This is indicative of why Chrysler sucks-- and why I'll never buy one of their products. Their cars suck and their attitude sucks, resulting in suckage. Instead of just ditching the ad, they assume their customers are idiots, slap new dialog onto a fatally flawed ad and continue to run it (run it a LOT). They do the same thing with their cars: instead of making them right, they do a half-assed job of designing cars that they tell you are what you want and will like (as opposed to asking the customers what they like and want). I really wish the government had let them tank.
