Buy On-Star ..... Or this child will die.....
I'm sorry, but that is the tone I get from their fucking scare parents to death sales pitch....

1. I thought kids died when people smoked marijuana?
Commercials have me so confused :crazy:.

2. Scare tactics seem to work, I guess...
Otherwise, why would they do it? More bang for the buck when you can appeal to peoples' emotions........

And maybe make them feel guilty at the same time....then you really got them where they hurt.....

Instead of "greed is good", maybe it is "guilt is good."

Or maybe it's both......yikes......:scared:

5. Yep, no child shall ever again survive a ride in the
family vehicle with Mom or Dad driving unless the vehicle has On-Star.

I don't know how the human race survived this long without On-Star...

Oh well, I'm sure the dear child will have a nice funeral - but only if the hearse has On-Star. Otherwise, the hearse may get lost.

Unless, the coffin has a UPS tracking number, in which case "the box could stop them...."

Doncha just LOVE modern technology

6. When folks throw the "dying child" mime at me I generally answer...
(with a straight face)... good there are too many of them already.

That generally shuts 'em up. Every once in a while someone will challenge... its a bit more work, but they too generally shut up after a while. *grin
