Here's a ripped stream of the SNL skit... get it while it lasts. http://videocafe.crooksandliars.com/heather/snl-spoofs-big-three-bailout-hearing
Thanks, jgholt. For some reason this particular video is not being posted on SNL's website. And NBC does not like it when others post videos of their programs. They're quick to sick their legal dept. on those who do.
Good humor always has e large percentace of truth in it and this is good humor.
I did laugh at the skit but I feel it was untrue and possibly quite harmful to the D3. All quality polls/statistics show GM & Ford in a very positive light. Many people really believe what the entertainment industry tells them (ie: SNL, Jon Stewart, etc). So when they are told a brand is crap they believe it. I personally do not think the D3, with a few exceptions that are fairly well known and avoidable, makes junk. This type of joke unfortunately does more damage to the domestics than high gas prices or tight credit sources. Who really wants to buy a vehicle that is a joke whether the joke is true or not?
