That dang Ford Focus Advert

MajorMaccas · 1 Aug 2008 at 21:36

You know the one, where they claim to be playing that classical tune on part of the Ford Focus.

Does my nut, its so laughably obvious that they're not playing the parts in the picture. A RUBBER windscreen wiper blade would make no noise at all on cello strings, and various other "instruments" like some rubber pipe as a clarinet or saxophone...again rubber would dampen the sound so no noise would be made!

Thought adverts can't lie, should be reported to Ofcom. I wouldn't be so annoyed, but Ford's advertising team just did a very lazy rip of Honda's choir car noises advert, which they put so much work into, and Ford think they can pull off the same effect by supergluing some bits of car together, getting actors to pretend to play them, and putting the tune over the top. Bleh! :mad:

That's what annoys me, the less learned that watch that ad will be amazed and think they're very clever and original when they're the exact opposite!

In an ironic twist, you should read the OP's (me) sidey bit on the left, particularly the location. Suffolk, UK not in britain now? :rolleyes:
