Car Adverts

[classic33]

Why do more & more car adverts, pointing out the benefits to you of the vehicle in question feature bikes in them? In one form or another.

It's to try to suggest that there's something green and healthy about the car.

Think of the cigarette adverts of old. Airline pilots smoking the brand, athletes smoking the brand, sexually suggestive smoking poses by good looking people (male and female), and so on.

Thats the way I see it too. Its a minor bugbear of mine and irritates me. The canadian ad recently posted here does however have a good message which I liked. "Share the road"
