Damned yuppies… always driving around fast in their BMW’s… avoiding accidents in one turn and causing accidents in the next… and then using their car’s superior handling and braking to drive away from the scene of the accident… never stopping to see if the others are OK… damned yuppies…
(just kidding) But imagine trying to run a commercial like that today?
I don’t know. This is far less upsetting than the ads Mercedes Benz runs today. Do you know the ones I’m refering to? The ones that start, ‘I was sleeping peacefully behind the wheel with my kids in the back seat, but my Mercedes Benz was awake.’ ‘I didn’t know that the giant tractor trailer in front of me had stopped, but my Mercedes Benz did.’ I was composing a presentation on my i-pad, but my Mercedes was monitoring the road I was traveling down at 60 mph.’ Based on those G*& D@*$ commericals, I don’t even want to see a Mercedes Benz when I’m on the road. I hope those clowns pay trillions in insurance premiums.
Yes, I know the ad you’re thinking of. I dislike that one too. These people seem like self centered idiots, too busy sleeping or God knows what else while “my Mercedes” saves my *ss, The whole commercial comes off as facile and pompous, not as beneficial as it should be. In many ways the technology is absolutely wonderful, but the way it is presented in those commercials, totally loses the opportunity to explain the benefits properly. As the kids say, fail.
BMW had an ad a few years ago with some clueless air head talking about how her car made her a better driver.
I thought, stay in the malls and off the main roads and do us all a favor.
I liked how the yupsters flew around the van and basically forced the American wagon into the dirt without even missing a beat or their favorite TV shows that night.
Yup, this reinforces my guess.
