Gillespie Chevrolet

Featured Replies

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

Seriously. Since Ronnie is basically unemployed, I am sure he could be had for next to nothing, and that fan base is a perfect target.

 

That's Mr. Woo Woo to you

I hope he has an agent and a spot on Letterman.

I'm sure he can tell us which Chevys are most comfortable to sleep under.

Nothing like using a homeless crackhead as the face of your business.

With the money he's pulling in he'll be able to afford health insurance

With their prior commercials, it is no surprise they would sink that low.

Next they were going to ask Dusty Baker and Shammy Sosa

Is this the dealership that has the commercials with Doggy Idol and stuff?

Yes. And the hideous looking sisters.

I never really had the urge to punch triplets before their commercials...

It's really, REALLY hard not to think triplets are cute. Those girls are like nails on a chalkboard.

 

 

I'm not familiar with their commercials, and I think I am very thankful for that.

Their billboard on 294 was a kid picking his nose. Whoever is in charge of their marketing should be tared and feathered.

Someone needs to hire him to work for the Cubs.

Ya'll are talking about it, so it must be effective. :lol:

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. :lolhitting

They signed him for a half a can of Mr. Pibb and three Red Vines.

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.

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.

Oh. So...he really is pretty bummy. Bummer. For him, anyway. Must be nice to have everyone buy you s***, though.

The effect it has on me is "avoid Gillespie Chevrolet at all costs".
