This will boost Tuscon sales...in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, maybe.

Seriously, is this the kind of imagery they want to have associated with their product? Tuscon...the car for wispy metrosexual wife beaters.

The first video link doesn't work for me. Here it is on YouTube.

Sadly, I'm not too surprised, because of what I've witnessed in this country. Disappointed, though. You would think that someone at the advertising agency might have thought, "Maybe this isn't such a good idea." Apparently not.

Rapier (a.k.a. Junior, until that sock got busted), why have you been harshing on Kermo lately? I was under the impression that you two had arrived at mutual respect.

That doesn't sound like a denial. Wink

As for me "having too much free time on my hands" (the second time someone's accused me of such) ...
My actual number of posts per day isn't very high. There are various posters, such as Ra -er, I mean, Blynch, who post more often than I do. Check out my profile and compare it to others. My posts seem to be more salient because they often start threads, using newspaper articles. I hate to disappoint, but with wordpad, a few saved phrases such as "[url=][/url]", "[quote][size=12][/size][/quote]" and online newspapers bookmarked together, it only takes a few minutes. No, I don't slave over a hot computer for hours cooking up those thread-starters.

Because everyone knows who the models are, they're recreating a scene/mood from a popular tv drama, and it's just cool to local viewers.

Pansy, plus he seems to be standing at a distance greater than the length of his arm.


The dude can operate some Ki(氣). Laughing

Actually, that seems to be the advertisement's "angle."

Despite getting smacked, Hyori gets back together with her boyfriend so as to ride in the passenger seat, because the Hyundai TucsonTM is so irresistable.
