Here in the states, Hyundai's ad campaign this month is "The Big Duh Sale" ( I suppose somehow cashing in on the popularity of The Simpsons Movie and Homer's ever more popular "DOH!" . Guess they couldn't use the "DOH" )

The campaign uses classical and classic music in which DUH is repeated over and over to the melody. For example, The William Tell Overture . . . . "Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh . . Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh " Or, the theme from Space Odysey 2001, . . . DUH, DUH, DUH . . . Duh Duh . . . .

I'm visiting in the States right now (back to Korea on Monday) and it seems like that ad is on a couple times per hour.

funny thing is Korea's flagship automobile company is the poor man's car back in the States.

Yes, it is a disconcertingly amusing.

The voice over is very serious, and in the background, to the tune of classical music, is the "duh, duh, duh, duh."

Yes, I loved my Hyundai in Korea. People in the States look at it as rather bottom of the barrel.
