"GM: Why WALK through the valley of the shadow of death, when you can DRIVE!"  Best motto ever.

[dougbiden]

"There are no bad ideas here, just bad cars." I got tears in my eyes

[Biyte]

"why not tell your family you love them, and come drive a test a gm car today" was great.

[AndrewGwinnerYup]

One of them is "widow maker" I swear these PR guys were taking bets on whether management would notice this list.

[zekeoman]

I love how they mention "grenade-like" and "powder keg" but neglect to mention "Titanic" and "spontaneous combustion"

[FhtagnCthulhu]

Kevorkianesque. That's a word I need to work into daily use.

[peter]

I feel a slogan coming up:
"The last car you'll ever drive!"

[SuperZez]

Am I the only one who noticed GENOCIDE in that jumble of problem-words?

[SeanKL]

Why is genocide one of the banned judgment words?

[auritone]

"Why walk through the valley of the shadow of death when you can drive", literally made me choke with laughter.

[gifteddevil]

"It's like butter...and you're toast!" HAHA

[brittonreid]

I own a GM car and that was funny...and now I don't feel safe adding horse power to my Sedan Hindenburg

[mattkramer]

Kevorkianesque was not a part of my lexicon until I saw this video.

[StephenStinson]

"No bad ideas here, just bad cars, " exactly why I'll never own another GM product.

[Strikerage]

And to think, GM was just let off the hook today by a judge. Justice? Nah... Not when you're a auto company that makes billions of dollars.

[chukwudiilozue]

Why walk through the shadow of death when you can drive?

[macforme]

I think they GM got those words from the customer complaint letters.

[alphasierra.]

"and you're toast" man, I choked on my cereal for full 5 seconds..!

[armusb]

Why walk through the valley of the shadow of death when you can drive - pure gold

[toastinator]

Am I really so famous that they need to warn employees not to acknowledge me, I feel so flattered
