Something Smells
How cool is this? GM gets a huge influx of cash from the Government, goes bankrupt, emerges as the new GM and their first new product off the assembly line is?
Cadillac cologne.
GM apparently has decided to start small -- small, as in the Cadillac Fragrance for men.
Cadillac cologne is described as having a real "guy" smell, composed with top notes of grapefruit and chamomile; middle notes of geranium, tarragon and cinnamon; and a dry-out of ebony, sweet spice, vetiver and incense.
The company GM licensed to make this new line of scents, Beauty Contact Inc., describes it as "at once bold and sporty, yet luxurious and refined. It pays tribute to the opulence and extravagance of past eras, as well as the luxury and ease of today."
Well guess what, Beauty Contact Inc is based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Our Government owns 60% of the new GM and the company GM licensed to make this new line of scents, Beauty Contact Inc., is from the United Arab Emirates.
Oh GM probably couldn't find a company in the United States that could make cologne.
That must be another one of those jobs you hear about that no one in the United States wants to do.
Is it any wonder GM wasted all our bailout money and had to file for bankruptcy?
Can't you see it now, someone gives you a bottle of Cadillac cologne, you open it and put a dab behind each ear, then it suddenly gives you the urge to race to your nearest dealer and buy a Cadillac. Now that's some good stuff.
Speaking of our Government owning automakers, we are also part owners of Chrysler, and in addition our Government forced Chrysler to make the Italian automaker Fiat a partner as well.
So now instead of being all American it now has the Italian influence.
That makes me wonder if to compete with GM, the first new product off the Chrysler assembly line will be Spaghetti Sauce.
Can't you see the ad, Chrysler Hemi Spaghetti Sauce, bold and sporty, yet tasteful and refined.
I can see it now, the husband comes home after a hard day of job hunting and the little woman is standing at the stove with her high heels on, hair all in place, lipstick and makeup on, wearing a dress with an apron over it tending to the Chrysler Hemi spaghetti sauce simmering on the stove.
The aroma is in the air and the man is so overcome with the tantalizing fragrance he tells his wife to turn off the stove because he wants to do it right now.
"Right now?" she exclaims, "But what about dinner? I have been in the kitchen all day simmering the new Hemi spaghetti sauce from Chrysler and you come home and want to do it right now?"
"Yes," he says. "I have the urge to do it, so we really should, don't you think?"
She replies, "Well, dear, it has only been 3 years since we did it the last time, so don't you think it is too soon to do it again?"
"No," he says. "It's not too soon and that's all I have been thinking about all day so let's just go do it."
"Well, OK," she says. "I really don't want to do it, I have a headache and even though I know it will only take you about 3 minutes to finalize the deal it always seems to take forever to get it done. If you really insist, let me go slip into something more comfortable before we do it."
Can't you picture it now? She turns off the Hemi spaghetti sauce, slips into something comfortable, they get in their 3-year-old car and head to the Chrysler dealer to meet the salesman Guido and purchase a new car.
A red Hemi, of course, just like the Chrysler spaghetti sauce.
Memo to the wife Vicki regarding your comment on Monday 7-27-09 blog: "I loved my '66Mustang." You should have filed divorce papers the day I convinced you to let me sell it. That car was a classic and I was stupid.
