Video: Weird chevy volt ad

I wonder if chevy is trying to nuke the volt in advance of it not coming out, coming out very late, or not as promised...If all their ads seem non-promising, who will miss it, right?

Is somebody just making this stuff up? Taking ads and re-editing them and posting to YouTube?

It really is that bad...
