UH OH Corvette Pimping

driving home yesterday I saw a billboard that read "little red corvette baby your much too fast" it had the symbol underneath it. does this mean that prince has approved of this advertising since he owns the publishing to the song?

Discussed before, but suffice to say:
Chevrolet(Generl Motors) contacted Prince to use "LRC" in their ads celebrating the 50 yr anniversary of Corvette production. He must have ok'd them using the song(as he owns the publishing rights), but only in print. I have yet to hear any radio or TV ads with the song being used.

As much as i don't like artists using their songs in ads, I'd still like to see what Chevy could've done with the song in a TV commercial.
