If everyone keeps posting EVERY person on here, this will get silly. Please post the following:

Username (stating you would like to be added)

Then it can be appropriately updated. I have a word document I am keeping track on right now and will keep updating it as we go.

People still play need for speed?

I hate the commercial too, but it's just a game that no one plays anyway, not worth wasting the time over. Go pick up a much better game and enjoy it.
 
Anybody realize that the 2g DSM was the icon car for the first Underground game? And now the car is a pile of shit not worthy of being parked? Add me to that list, stat. Whoever is in charge of their marketing is a clueless tool.

And, Michael, good blog. I would have been more harsh, but you took them to school very well.

Also the video only has 161 likes and 14 dislikes, so if everyone on this petition and the others disliked the video, then we could easily have it have more dislikes than likes, as that is more than likely part of there advertising department posting the videos, than that in itself could send a strong message

Agreed. Everyone needs to start disliking the video to send it straight to the hearts of those marketers.

You know, it sucks that the used a dsm for that... BUT you have to look at the INTENT of the commerical. If you look at the car its a Talon, right? but it doesn't have the black top... so more then likely its been repainted. They blurred out the nameplate. The car itself is dirty. Why? Well they wanted to portray an "average" daily driver type car. No matter what kind of car they would have picked for that, it would have caused an outrage somewhere, as there is a fanbase for everything. They did not once in the entire video say "Mitsubishi Eclipses and Eagle talons (or dsms) are garbage." It was merely a spot on how driving not-so-clean everyday commuters are rather dull.

From someone who works in the media world; maybe this will help you guys see that this was not an intentional diss.... it really wasn't. Does it suck? sure... but hey, such is life.

Sure it could have been coincidence, but they could have spent the 7.5 seconds to think "Hey. Maybe guys who own these will get pissed off. We should get a worse car to make our point even clearer".

This list is exceeding expectations and it hasn't even been around for 24 hours. This makes me proud to be a DSMer.

OP, can you post this in your first thread just for those who post and don't read the whole thread? Thx.

BTW we are at 126!!

A good marketer should know that most of the people interested in a "race type" of game are car enthusiasts. So it would make sense to do some research into your market and know that its a bad idea to use an iconic car to make a point of a beat up DD. For instance, if they used a Civic, we all would be laughing, but the JDM guys would be infuriated and doing this petition. A smart marketing person should have found a beat up sporty looking car with a small fan base, or at the very least a base that hasnt accomplished nearly as much as the DSM base. For example, a grand am is somewhat of a sporty looking car, but pathetic when it comes to performance.
 
That may be true...

but, the majority of ad people do not know such things. Plus it would've pissed off the grand am people; or even GM people. LOL

Regardless, they probably should've picked a car with a smaller following, but without knowing the specifics, like how much time they had to shoot the spot, location time, ect.. heck, it even will could've been someone on the crew's car. Rarely do these productions EVER go as planned.

Don't get me wrong, I don't like it, but not going to let it ruin my day. ;) Hell, it might help us regain a "sleeper" status. :p

Most definitely. Check it out in post number one. Could you post an official list every 10-20 people so that people know what it is currently looking like?

And a thanks goes out to everyone who played a part in keeping this list in a readable format over the first few hours when people were climbing over each other to get on the list.

By order of appearance and confirmation through the thread and PM's. I will not add anyone that clearly does not state that they WANT to be on the list.

I am currently at work and bored! So I decided to keep a current list.

Again for those just reaching this section:

Please do not repost the list. Only post the following:

Username (stating you would like to be added)

Then it can be appropriately updated. I have a word document I am keeping track on right now and will keep updating the document and you as we go.

For you guys debating that the talon was not intentionally used to derate us I say that they coulda chose a different car that doesnt really have a performance base or history to it, sure they coulda chose another car and pissed other ppl off, but would it of been ppl that would of been a target adiance for the game? Why not an old dodge dynasty? or something of the sort. Sure there is a fan base for them (maybe) but is it performance oriented? No. Is it a DD for some? yes (i personally know 3 ppl in HS that drove them). But it woulda been a longer shot for ppl and less of a target audience to go awry. just my .02.
 
I think that before we really can do anything and to have EA take us seriously, we would realistically need 1,000 signatures. So Its time to start sending this thread out to everyone you know and getting signitures and either pass them along to this site so I can record them or PM me. Even keep track on your own but keep in touch with the others who are keeping count such as myself so we know when we hit that 1,000signatures/$60,000 mark.
