Have you noticed everything in the ad is wrong?

Big bathing suits 1946? Try the 20s!
Big sideburns 1980? 70s, surely!?
Big boomboxes 1995? Try 1985!
Pong on games consoles 1985? Try late 70s!
Big encyclopedia 2001 - surely everybody was on the internet by then?

Bored at work...I've got an RSS feed from a few of the US car websites (work for a US automotive supplier).

To be fair, the previous article was about the F12... :honestguv:

Exactly what I said to the Mrs earlier. It never ceases to amaze me what rubbish the ad men come up with and actually get paid for.

Although to be fair I wouldn't try very hard for such a hateful thing either.

The whole idea of the ad makes me laugh.

"look at all this stuff thats big and now is small. Small is better etc etc"

So you release a car that now fills the slot the Polo used to before it became ummm big?
