What are they thinking?

What the heck is Chevrolet thinking when they make those commercials with an audio combination of the Presidential March underscored with "Terminator" horns? I don't want to buy a Chevy, I want to vote for John Connor!

Car manufacturers have been known for using subliminals in advertising before--could it be that they are really trying to let us know that cars are indeed bringing apocalyptic doom to us all? Since few models of Chevrolet are remotely sexy, are they somehow trying to access our Freudian wish for death in order to sell cars?

Personally, I want a death built with better quality and a decent gas mileage. Y'know, to get me to the other side more economically...

They used this ominous audio combo with the last two election cycles. The paranoid side of me wonders if it is also like the "bat signal" for to the other corporate entities that their special interest groups are poised to screw with the next election? Wow....now that is clunky. Never mind.
