Worst car advert ever ?
Caught this advert for the new MG ZR today in The Mirror. Anyone else think they've fecked it up, cos to me, it looks like its saying its ****  We all know the expression, 'like **** off a shovel' as in fast, but as you can see below the way they've worded it, the role of the MG ZR seems to be the ****
Sorry for bypassing the swear filter but it was kinda required.

Re: Worst car advert ever ?
So basically there are two types of people:
1. Ones who are familiar with the expression, so'll think the car's being equated with the smelly stuff, and
2. Ones like me who aren't, so the ad'll be meaningless.
You need a new ad agency guys  !

Re: Worst car advert ever ?
And the funny thing is, I bet it took 6 guys with ponytails, sitting around a large oak table sipping water out of green bottles 3 months to think up that slogan....
Ad executives....they make me laugh
