You would not think of the Jeep Renegade as being a BatJeep – at least not without a hell of a lot of Bat-accessories and even then, it is a stretch – but that is not stopping Jeep from glomming onto what will surely be a superhero blockbuster movie [“Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice” […]
Sam Raimi – director of horror films such as the “Evil Dead” series of films – directed a cinematic ad for Chevrolet for their 2016 Cruze and 2016 Malibu [who, as we discovered a few months ago, some not-very-bright people think could also be a BMW].

Chevrolet debuted an advertisement for their new 2016 Malibu with what they say are real people and not actors and if that is true, it is a bad sign for humanity when the various real people think it could possibly be a BMW and be in “the $80,000 bracket”. With these as examples of the […]
