We're not going to spend any considerable amount of time on this, since we are pretty exasperated by this whole ordeal (judging by the comments, apparently you are too).

GM has decided to "modify" their Robot ad after a complaint from the Foundation for Suicide Prevention deemed the spot unsympathetic to those who are plagued with depression. Any reference to suicide will be removed, along with the end sequence where our robotic protagonist leaps off a bridge.

The foundation has said that GM has been cooperative in the matter, which is a strong about face, considering Mark LaNeve was adamant that no changes would be made.

Sadly, the removal of "All By Myself" will not be forthcoming.

Thanks for the tip, TGM3.
