remember the chevy tahoe ad contest, where users were invited to create their own tahoe ads but mischievious users started making subversive ads instead?
now that the contest is over, chevy has silently deleted the whole site. chevyapprentice.com now redirects to chevrolet.com/tahoe and all the video links result in an error.
of course, we all knew they wouldn't stay up forever, though i'm a bit surprised they came down after less than a month. i guess they were eager to delete all that unflattering content. at least some of the videos got posted to sites like youtube before the deletion. (mine were not, so unless one of you has my ads saved to your hard drive, they're gone forever. oh well. it was fun while it lasted.)¶
