Default Ghetto Marketing by Ford

I was wondering if it was a regional thing or a nationwide ad. It
really shows the power of advertising, since I scrapped the idea of
buying an F150 after seeing the posse of sub-literate shills rapping
and using the phrase 'flash your grille'.

I can't imagine that's a nationwide ad, please tell me Ford has more
sense than S. Florida...

You wont buy the truck because you don't like the ad???

There's some mighty powerful logic at work, there...

Sorry, I'm afraid it's playing up in Boston.

No worse than D/Cs "Thet thang got a HEMI!?" ads, with the trailer park duo.

F150 has that reputation as the low one in the chain of evolution

I want to throw a brick through the TV when that damn ad comes on.
First it was "Rad It Lak A Foad" now it's metal mouth idiots. Makes me
want to puke.

Obviously you have no freaking idea why marketing companies make
multi-millions of dollars for good national add campaigns...

These advertisements do make or BREAK deals, you think big corporations ****
those millions of dollars away for nothing?

I do NOT buy something because the ad campaign is good... I buy something
because I

A): need it

and

B): feel that it is a good product sold at fair price with good after sales
service....

It is those that buy because they feel good about a ****ing commercial that
have no freaking idea.....

"I buy this kind of ice cream because a hot brunette stole one from a guy in
a commercial"... "I buy that kind of aftershave because a dork is surrounded
by babes in the commercial"... "I buy that kind of insurance because a cute
little lizard might babysit my kids"....

Jayzus - get a grip!!!

A buying decision borne of a commercial or ad campaign that someone likes is
a poor buying decision. But, I guess that if you can't tell **** from
shinola, a slick ad is all you have left.

I can picture it now.... I was going to buy a Ford F150 because you never
know when you might want to hang it in mid-air by the box bolts - but now I
see that some punk rocker kinda guy might want to hang HIS F150 in mid-air
by the box bolts, I don't think I want one.... If you want an F150 and
believe it is the truck that will serve you well, you will buy one - even if
PeeWee Herman bought one the same colour....

News flash..... ugly brunettes steal ice cream cones, too (worse yet, NO
brunette might steal your cone).... good looking guys that use that
aftershave are lonely... and we're not sure that the cute little lizard
isn't a pedophile.....

Nearly forgot..... saw a McDonalds commercial a few days ago.... later that
night, I was out and about and started feeling a tad peckish.... The
hamburger I got bore little resemblance to the one in the ad and even less
resemblance to a real hamburger... I don't understand it. After all, the
people in the ad were attractive and "normal"....

I'm sure it would have tasted better if Micheal Jackson was doing the ad....

At least it might not have given me the drizzling ****s....

So are you trying to say you think big corporations **** those millions of
dollars away for nothing?
