The funny thing with the campaign against plastic bags the past few years is that I remember in the early 80's, there was a huge campaign to get us to use plastic instead of paper because we needed to save the trees.
I forgot to mention, I called him a “metro” because I have a visceral dislike of men who look like they never have to shave.
The cost of replacement parts is a huge problem for German autos, and it’s why they are stolen more often (generally).
LOL!
That is another good reason not to buy German cars.
Steyn’s take was EXCELLENT.
Modified scene from “Red Dawn”.
Jed, looking through binoculars from a hilltop, “Looks like the GP thugs have set up a checkpoint down there. Let’s wait until the traffic clears....”
As the last car clears, Jed yells “Now! Matt, RPG!”
Yes, it was.
He only leaves out of his analysis the tens of thousands of us non-metrosexual PC types that just sitting on the sidelines watching this limp-wristed soft tyranny creep into play...patiently waiting.
He did mention a desire to see a Clint Eastwood type defy the GPJBTs.
The message is submissive wimps drive Audi.
If the deal is good enough I guess I could get over that, but why would Audi want to make it so they have to offer a deal?
Of course, they're marketing people might have looked at the number of Obama voters and deduced that submissive wimps had a pretty big market share.
You might be waiting, patiently, but Audi got you to talk. Think about that for a minute: what is the purpose of advertising?
Audi is mostly a liberal buyer car. BMW, AUDI, and expensive Japanese cars are the new status for middle income blacks. Give me an American V8 any day.
Actually, the goal is to get people to buy.
They didn’t score a sale with me, and probably most that are not impressed with the badge on a vehicle. Maybe they will win some spillover from those who ran out and bought a Prius to be in with the hip crowd.
You’re right, he did. I was talking about legions of Clints.
Question: is a person more or less likely to be aware that Audi offers a TDI diesel after February 7, 2010? If yes, why?
Dude, don’t play games. I understand completely.
Did you really miss my point?
I think I’m going to stick with Ford.
I want to test drive the new SHO. I drive the first year one back in the 1990’s. It was really fun.
Yes, I did. I thought your point was, “the commercial made me ‘mad’ (or whatever), so I won’t buy the product—and if I won’t, then most people won’t, either.”
You're oversensitive. If anything, the ad made its point in exactly the other direction. And it was funny.
