SF wins world series, MVP gets new midsize truck?

[another Todd]

Bumgarner is MVP and Chevrolet gives him a new midsize Colorado? Can he even fit into a Colorado? That's embarrassing.

 

[mcrn]

LOL I saw that. I couldn't believe it wasn't a 1500 or a Corvette.

 

[CT8]

For what their pay is almost any car would be an embarrassment. I think it is just advertising to impresses us little people.

 

[Boczech]

Could be worse I guess , like a SMART car eh... Congratulations Madison on the MVP award !!!! Cheers, B

 

[901Memphis]

They give them the car they want to sell the most of, so everyone will see it and will lead to more sales.

 

[mcrn]

He will probably give it away or donate to charity or something. Or just destroy it on his farm. lol

 

[NHGUY]

Its under recall can they even give it away?

 

[OneEyeJack]

The most valuable person in this year's World Series was Bruce Bochy.

 

[Klutch9]

One question: was it a diesel?

Is there really a recall for these?

 

[InhalingBullets]

The real embarrassment for GM was the fool that was presenting the award. There were more 'ums and ahs in his presentation than a Middle school lunch room.

 

[morepwr]

Giving that truck away is just another advertisement.

 

[Smokescreen]

A Colorado ? Pure publicity. It was given to him in front of the camera and then he promptly threw the keys either back to the dealership or handed them to the nearest ball boy cuz that would be the owner demographic.

Here's something special..even when the city wins the World Series...losers have to go and tear up the place and start shooting and stabbing each other: http://www.cbc.ca/player/Shows/ID/2578400099/

Is that not how you celebrate in Canada?

 

[Smokescreen]

I guess Canadians "mostly" riot if we lose....minus the shooting and stabbing of course. http://www.thehockeynews.com/articles/40857-Heres-a-list-of-significant-hockey-riots-in-Canada.html ...all joking aside I guess there are losers all over the place that use this method of "celebrating". I just don't get it. Are there really freaks all around us ready to snap and riot for any given reason...people really jump on this mob mentality bandwagon at a whim it seems.

I thought it would have been funny if the truck they gave Mad Bum were blue. I wonder if it came with the optional Kleenex dispenser? When I was going to college in Montana, the Canadian students would all hang out at one local tavern to watch the NHL. You could always tell that there was a hockey game the night before. Most of the Canadians showed up to class the next day with black eyes and fat lips. It was worse if it was Edmonton vs. Calgary. That's when the girls would get into the act.

Super Bowl MVPS get Cadillac Escalade or Chevy Corvette. NFL MVPS are the true ballers Super Bowl MVPs and the GM vehicles they win!

That was pretty bad for sure. Did you notice he also had to keep looking down at his flash card and at times he was reading from it?

yet for all the people snark, his bad speech got more buzz about the truck then if it were a forgettable perfect PR person speech. The chevy marketting department went with it in this case and stuck on the #technologyandstuff to their own webpage. So not an embarrassment, it's a win to a human being a real human in this case; and a loss for internet snarkers trying too hard to find someone else's failures and misery to make themselves feel better about themselves. Now if they staged the whole thing and that came out, then that'd be an embarrassment.
