Re: Blatant advertising - THe Growler
Talking about advertising, how about this piece of pretentious bulldust from Messrs Peugeot:

"Some people will choose the new Peugeot 307 HDi 110 because we've made the cleanest diesel engine in the world. Some because it's quieter and more refined. Some because of its quite exceptional performance. Some because of the Particulate Filter, ultra low CO2 emissions and Level 1 Benefit in Kind tax advantages. And some because future generations will thank them."

A real wine-bar yuppie marketing graduate jerk-off if ever I saw one.
Re: Blatant advertising - honest john
See 'Sting on Untaxed Vehicles' in the News Archive on this site (11th October). That really shows you how not to write a press release. Incidentally, I've finally worked out why the Nissan Sunny in the Department of Transport commercial hit the child. Its rear brakes had been disconnected. As it slides towards the child with its front wheels locked up you can clearly see the rear wheels rotating freely. So if you want to drive safely, the hidden message is make sure your rear brakes are working. Shame it was so far behind the standard of the previous belt up in the back commercial, which was excellent. Even the Dottymen can get it right sometimes.

Re: Blatant advertising - Ian Aspinall
Yes, I noticed that as well. Also, the car is travelling at blatantly excessive speed down what appears to be a very crowded and narrow street with pedestrians wandering about in the road. As a commercial that is trying to make the point that we should all slow down a bit, it fails utterly because it shows an atypical piece of driving in a seriously defective car, rather than a genuine everyday situation.

I thought the 70s "Think once, think twice, think bike" ad with a Morris Marina pulling out in front of a motorbike was one of the best ever. Made me wince every time I saw it. And not just at the nasty beige colour of the Marina.
