Unedited version of GM's Robot ad
The yellow robot that caused uproar by dreaming of committing suicide by jumping off a bridge after being laid off in a General Motors Corp. advertisement is getting another shot at fame in its edited version. The new robot spot for General Motors has now eliminated the suicide scene that drew protests from mental health and suicide prevention groups.
The edited 30-second advertisement, which is scheduled premiere this Sunday during the Academy Awards, removes the jump and substitutes as a bad dream a shot of a car being compacted in a scrap yard, and shows the robot in additional menial jobs, including work as a shelf-stocker and holding the security gate in a parking ramp.
