LOS ANGELES (AdAge.com) — When they see Tom Cruise sporting an eye patch and full Wehrmacht regalia, will audiences go for it or guffaw?
Today, the Wall Street Journal‘s John Stoll reported from Detroit. In the video above, he explains that after two days of inquiry in Washington D.C., big 3 execs have returned home with little hope of getting any closer to the bailout they need. Hmm, maybe flying down there in private jets was a bad way to start things off.
Anyway, Stoll notes that GM in particular is running out of places to cut spending. Production is down, and other expenditures both abroad and stateside are all zipped up. However, the automakers have one thing left to get rid of; their vehicles.
Typically, a fire sale is a really bad sign, right? But if cash is what the companies need, maybe selling their cars for 20 percent less than their value should be considered.
Here’s why. If the bailout comes through, each manufacturer will have a debt in the billions to pay off. And we don’t know about you, but even the idea of bailing these guys out makes us squirm. So, maybe before asking Americans to pay off their debt (for awhile), they should offer awesome discounts on their product. We, for one, would be less pissed off about the situation if we had a sweet new Camaro sitting outside (especially if it came at the bargain price of $13k, for example).
Just a thought, but we wanted to throw it out to you. Use this handy poll to give us your take. Comments, as always, are welcome!

The International Advertising Bureau (IAB) and PriceWaterhouseCoopers announced the third quarter results for internet advertising, which showed revenues up 11 percent over the same time last year at $5.9 billion. However, Q3 came in just two percent over Q2, 2008.
The IAB reports that although annual growth in the sector has been in the double digits, quarterly increases have been relatively flat.
So, now you know.

This looks like fun. And before you self-harm on account of your incapacity to contrive something this cool with nothing but gamer love and idle time, take comfort: it was apparently pretty well-funded.
Remember that little ad about how painful it can be to wear your child? You know, the one Motrin made that’s got them in a heap of trouble? Seems someone thought it’d be a good idea to dump fuel on the fire. With no further adieu (this is the part where you click “play”), a faux Motrin ad for getting through the tremendous pain that comes after breast augmentation(read: boob job).
