Today is the worst day of my life
Well, I just heard back from the people at Chevrolet, who had previously contacted me to
do a commercial for them. Here is what they said, along with my sentence by sentence reaction:
On behalf of Chevy and the all new 2007 Tahoe, we’d like to thank you for your outstanding effort in the Chevy Online Apprentice contest.
Oooh... they're starting out by thanking me! That's a good sign!
The commercial you submitted was strong...
Yes! Yes! Yes! Fortune and fame, here I come! Save me a chair at the fanciest strip club in Hollywood, I'm on my way!
...but, after careful deliberation, we’ve decided to go in another direction.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! Another direction? What the fuck does that mean? Into the ground, that's the direction they're going by rejecting my glorious commercial.
...take a look at the five finalists for some insight on which commercials caught the judges’ eyes.
Okay, in all seriousness, I looked at the finalists, and they all blow. Obviously they wouldn't select a commercial that claimed their vehicle was superior to Jesus Christ (as mine did). But, given the limitations of the tool they released to create the commercials, I think parody commercials have the highest potential quality.
