Commercials I hate, vol. 2

The GM Hot Button commercial. It starts with a shot of the space shuttle with some really cheesy, high school AV quality graphics, intercutting between stock footage of Mission Control. "Five - four - three - two - one - ignition....ignition....ignition." A big red "ignition" button sits there as a badly dressed mission controller hesitates, then gets up and walks away as the voice-over says "waiting for something really important before pressing the hot button?"

Poor graphics, cheap sets, bad acting and really bad concept. Like you're not gonna launch a space ship so you can push a GM onStar button?
