- How sad that the MG company should allow its advertising agency to produce such a pathetically sophomoric piece of rubbish! In the hey-day of MG, "Safety Fast" was a logo that told the public that MG

- yep...just one more 'stupid' ad. Targeted at the U.S.? based on the 'gay' stuff these days....they apparently thought they needed a male/male couple to try and tap that market too. IF... MG still has

- Hey, I'll have to watch it again - I must have missed that bit :-) Notice they mention it as a "viral advert" - which means it probably would not have made it to any screen bigger than a computer mon

- As an owner or a modern MG (as well as my TC) I can tell you all that there is definately none of the original MG Character left at MG. I love my MG-F and it is a fantastic car to drive. Terri and I

- I wonder what people who owned 40s and 50s MGs for their character in the 70s thought of the "You can do it an MG" and "Your mother wouldn't like it" MGB and Midget campaigns :o) Advertising reflects

- It's funny. I didn't blow Mt. Dew all over my computer, but it's funny. Obviously "Naked Gun" or "Airplane" movie type of humor. Some like it, some don't. Morally bankrupt? Of course. I guess those w
