Corvettes, guns and Guy Ritchie. Sounds like a great mix to us. Here is an in-depth look of the banned Corvette C6 commercial that aired during the 2004 Summer Olympics opening ceremony. Unfortunately, the seven-plus hours of footage that took a grueling 31 days to edit into a 60-second spot was banned soon after it’s first airing.
Why would the Federal Communications Commission ban such a delightful TV spot? We’re told that the FCC likes to ban dreams. What a world, what a world.

Yes, but it’s ok for cute little struggling import brand NISSAN to portray, Koalchck a uppwordly mobile young profetional, driving wreclessly, destroying public property, disturbing the peace, “and in the commision of the above making a terroristic threat”; in his cute little underdog Nissan Juke. To be fair Nissan did go bankrupt and got bought for pennys on the dollar by Renallt (ok I spelled it wrong) so I can see why people would pitty the automaker. But GM deserves pitty too, GM has like the worlds best most dedicated engineers challanged by typical American corperate PROFIT NOW, pride mabee later, attitude. The kind of challanges that require putting OHV pickup truck engines in Corvettes and Cadillacs, and making them world class annyway. GM ought to do a America still builds rockets part two were the wheelspinning, drifting Corvette leaves the Nasa facility and takes to public roads, than proceeds to humble a European supercar or too, maybee even drift passed a GTR Nissan getting a nod of respect from it’s driver because Japans top car is less able at the Japanise sport of drifting than America’s top car. The driver of the Corvette would be giddy and happy not smug, or defiant.
That was a great commercial. Ridiculous that it was banned.
What is this world coming to.
