October 4, 200718 yr Anyone who has been watching the baseball playoffs. Has anyone seen that Gillespie Chevy hired a homeless crackhead (Ronnie Woo Woo) as their new spokesperson? Are you freaking kidding me?

You mean a business trying to possibly cash in on the "lemming'-mindedness of Cub fans surprises you???? I'm surprised it wasn't tried before

October 4, 200718 yr QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Oct 4, 2007 -> 03:13 PM) With their prior commercials, it is no surprise they would sink that low. Next they were going to ask Dusty Baker and Shammy Sosa
October 4, 200718 yr QUOTE(DrunkBomber @ Oct 4, 2007 -> 02:21 PM) Is this the dealership that has the commercials with Doggy Idol and stuff? Yes. And the hideous looking sisters.
October 4, 200718 yr QUOTE(Steff @ Oct 4, 2007 -> 03:41 PM) Yes. And the hideous looking sisters. I never really had the urge to punch triplets before their commercials...

October 5, 200718 yr I'm not familiar with their commercials, and I think I am very thankful for that.
October 5, 200718 yr Their billboard on 294 was a kid picking his nose. Whoever is in charge of their marketing should be tared and feathered. Edited October 5, 200718 yr by StrangeSox

October 5, 200718 yr Author QUOTE(kapkomet @ Oct 5, 2007 -> 02:42 PM) Ya'll are talking about it, so it must be effective. It is annoyingly effective. The thing I dont appreciate is that if I owned my own business, i would really respect the image that I project to the public. I want the image of my company to be equal to that of my character and my company's values. All Gillespie is telling me is that they are desperate, weak willed, and willing to hire a crack head to drive up just a little bit of business. Shock marketing like theirs that draws negative attention towards your business is not something I would personally take part in.

Which would be powerful except pretty much you would never own a Chevy.

October 8, 200718 yr I'd really like to know what Woo Woo does for a living, or where he gets his money. If I recall correctly, he's married and has a child, or two. He can't be a total bum, though he looks like it.
October 8, 200718 yr Since 1990, most of Wickers' income has come from washing windows in the neighborhood around Wrigley Field. He also makes paid appearances at parties and has starred in local commercials.[1] In 2000, two Wrigleyville bar owners organized a much-publicized fundraiser to provide Wickers with a new pair of dentures.[2] per wikipedia.
October 8, 200718 yr Oh. So...he really is pretty bummy. Bummer. For him, anyway. Must be nice to have everyone buy you s***, though. Edited October 8, 200718 yr by Gregory Pratt
