Troubling Commercial

There are several commercials that are troubling, but recently I saw one that caused me to shake my head. It’s an Audi ad.

In the commercial, drivers of other high-end vehicles spot a car transporter that is full of different Audi vehicles. One guy climbs out of his BMW’s sunroof in order to jump onto the transporter and sit inside of an Audi. Several other commuters follow suit.

NICE

     The ad is not necessarily effective, but I am not commenting on the marketing quality. The aspect that I find most troubling about the commercial is the disclaimer which appears during the ad. Audi actually warns people from attempting to imitate the actions of the drivers. (It’s ridiculous that companies have to protect themselves from frivolous lawsuits!)

This Transporter

Not This Transporter

     I don’t want to live in a world where an idiot can cause serious injury to him or herself and then file a claim against a company. That being said, I will continue to live in this world because I have no control over such issues.

The way I see it, people who win such law suits should be forced to wear a Navy Letter! “What is a navy letter?” You ask. It’s similar to a scarlet letter; only navy blue instead of scarlet red. The “A” will be changed to an “F” for Frivolous! (Initially, my idea was to force people to have the Navy “F” tattooed to their forehead, but they don’t call me “Peter the Lenient” for nothing!)

First and foremost, I enjoy writing stories. I recently completed my first novel, and I successfully co-wrote a short film script, which won the grand prize in the words made easy competition.

  1. P- you must reconsider everything. There must be a God.. Let me tell you about a commercial that did its job and must be the result of divine intervention.. Taco Bell has introduced the Doritos Taco to the world. I saw the commercial and I was there in an hour. I am now on my third trip in 24hrs… I can’t stop… I need help

    1. Ha ha! That’s not divine intervention. That’s your inner fat kid screaming for freedom. Stop ging to the gym and become who you are destined to be. I went to Taco Bell and didn’t really feel like trying the new creation, but I met a girl who swears it’s “the bomb.com!”

      1. I beg to differ… God must have intervened before the Taco Bell creative department meeting was adjourned and said ‘how bout a Dorito shell?’

        1. You’re right.. I have the fattest inner fat kid around.. I’m pushing 450lb
