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 ANY of it's original character...
this ad company won't be their agency very long.
But who knows these days.
How sad adverting is these days. Personally I believe
it's one of the main 'roots of all evil'. The scary part is
how much of 'John Q. Public' believes advertising, and
misses the b.s. right in front of them. (purposeful
mis-direction of thought)
