Chevrolet Leader News, Vol. 4, No. 3 (in the Ephemeral section of Open Video Project. Also, film #309 on Prelinger Archive). [Category: Industrial]

OK, folks, I’ve put up with the animal abuse in this series. I’ve put up with stuffing dogs in trunks. I’ve put up with dressing monkeys in humiliating costumes. I’ve even put up with them capturing a grand old sea turtle and tormenting it before killing it for its hide. But now Chevrolet has gone too far––they’ve taken an innocent cow and started it smoking! And then they milk her and feed the milk to children! Forget PETA––call out the Surgeon General for this one! Oh, and they also have silly stories about a parade honoring the school safety patrol, a guy who trades in his buggy for a new Chevrolet (and who now, with Chevrolet’s blessing, has no tolerance for other buggies on the road), a bunch of oil drillers playing around with nitroglycerine (don’t try this at home, kids), a guy who goes everywhere on stilts, and an archery instructor who shoots at his female students from the hood of a driverless moving car. Had enough safety violations for one film?

Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: ****. Weirdness: ****. Historical Interest: ****. Overall Rating: ****.
