Quite agree.
For me, most car ads put me off a car, for the simple fact that they had to advertise the thing to sell it to me in the first place.
Yes it ilike that Alfa Romeo 'Gullietta' advert:
I am this, I am that, I am passion.... etc etc
No 'you' aren't, 'you' are a bloody machine, a chunk of metal, AN INNANIMATE OBJECT.... and not a very good looking one at that.
Gets on my tits that advert, does it show??
