Fiat and Jennifer Lopez Controversy: Much Ado About Nothing
I'm not the only one who thinks the Jennifer Lopez / Fiat "controversy" is ridiculous
With twelve million viewers watching as a Fiat 500c took center stage during a Jennifer Lopez performance on the American Music Awards, there is no denying the Lopez / Fiat collaboration has garnered a lot of interest.
Naturally, with all this attention, the haters on the Internet have had to manufacture some kind of controversy to justify their existence. What they managed to come up with is a stretch even for the most unabashed mudslinger. The supposed affront centers on Lopez not being the one driving the car in her Fiat commercial.
The commercial, labeled as a dramatization, features Lopez talking about her affection for the Bronx while she is driving a Fiat 500c through the streets of the borough. To accommodate Lopez's schedule, the shots of the drive around the New York locations were filmed by a stand-in, while Lopez filmed the others in LA. This is common practice in TV make believe land, however, this is just enough fodder for media types with ulterior motives to express feigned outrage that Ms.Lopez didn't spend a day flying across the country to film a 60 second drive around the block.
That there are naive people out there paying attention to this is not too surprising in itself, but for the "mainstream" news outlets to actually pick up and devote time to this non-story is pretty ridiculous. Man, things must be slow in the news business.
Thankfully, clear thinkers and journalists like Anderson Cooper see through the smoke screen.

New Head of Fiat Brand for North America Named
Monday, Chrysler named a new Head of the Fiat Brand for North America. Timothy Kuniskis takes over for Laura Soave, who left the Company to pursue other opportunities.
Kuniskis is a veteran Chrysler employee with a strong background in dealer operations and marketing. Kuniskis most recently served as Director for both the Chrysler Brand and Fiat Brand Product Marketing.
We look forward to Tim Kuniskis' leadership in these areas as Fiat USA has finally reached its goals of having 130 Fiat Studios opened in the United States.
Finally, on behalf of her many fans that visit this site, I would like to publicly thank Laura Soave for all her hard work in re-establishing the Fiat Brand back into the United States. I would also like to thank her personally for her graciousness and thoughtfulness and wish her the very best in her future endeavours.
