The advertising of automobiles is one lie after another.
The ads on television all show this really amazing stretch of
road with the most beautiful vistas and then try to make you believe
that this will be your experience as you drive in from Schaumburg.
What a load of crap! Hell half of these ads have been shot outside
the United States and virtually all snow commercials are shot
in New Zealand.
Imagine if Ford had to show the Excursion being parallel parked
in any major city, they would never have sold a single one. Most
Indian reservations in the southwest US would kill to have a school
bus as big as the Excursion.
Allied automobile advertising is just as bad. Look at the tyre
commercials that have cars zooming all over some completely desolate
city streets. It's no wonder that all these fuckers seem to think
that they have a g-d given right to drive as fast and as hard
as they want. "If I saw it on TV it must be true". I think it
is time for some truth in advertising.
