If you watch the Winter Olympics, you'll probably see the "My mom" commercial from General Electric that talks about their turbofans, their medical equipment, and so forth. Kinda cool animation, and they include a GEVO that (apparently) loves trees... but someone forgot to tell the ad agency that the ES44AC doesn't come with an air chime whistle :wink:

Yes, I was thinking the same thing when I saw the commercial. :-D Thought it was weird to see an ES44AC that sounded like a steamer. On the other hand, the concept of the commercial is that it's based on a child's imagination, so that probably has something to do with the seemingly odd choice of sound effects.

Here's a link to view the commercial:

hate to break the (late) news to you guys, but her "dad" was doing the same crap, long before her "mom" was. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCSqz83cxOA" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;


i'm guessing her parents are really unemployed, and offered the kid up, for some rent money. :P
