Just Saw a Clever Ad

[StanAE86]

In a Magazine:

"It's All FUN and GAMES...until someone gets SMOKED"

:lol:

Was it clever enough to get you to by the product?

Otherwise, it can't be that clever..... or maybe you are too clever to be duped by it :P :wink:

hahah...well. Clever enough for me to look closer and see who the manufacturer was. It was Harley Davidson Motorcycles. So, it was good enough for that. I don't ride anymore...too dangerous with too many soccer moms driving SUVs when they should be in a small car, like a Scion xB.

Damn it Ronin, you're sounding like an ass! :wink:

True, and I've used it with variations before as well, but it did catch my eye for whatever reason...maybe it's the slang "smoked" when used in a big magazine by a big manufacturer...versus:

"It's all fun and games until someone gets beaten"

US companies tend to be rather bland with their ads. I remember seeing some euro magazine back when I was in high school...it was a drop top Escort and the ad said, "It's mean and roofless" - playing on the slang of the time, "ruthless"...equivalent US ad? The NEW Escort! weeeeee! :lol: Then again, we didn't get a drop top....
