This young girl is my hero. She appears in an advertisement for Holden Commodore which has been on high rotation on all the commercial TV channels recently. In it a group of children present their designs for the Holden Commodore of the future. Holden (the Australian arm of General Motors) announced last year that it would stop producing cars in Australia by the end of 2017. This is, of course, not a popular move with the Australian public and GM are very keen to convince us they have a future here even if it is only virtual. What better way than to use children? The children are asked to create pictures of a future Holden Commodore (Holden's flagship vehicle) and then explain them on camera. I can't find anything online that tells me how genuine this is. Did each of the children really sit down and draw their imagined car of the future, or is it all staged and scripted? But let's assume for the sake of argument that these are real juvenile creations. No
