Maybe slightly problematic. I don't have as much problem with the sentiment as I do that it's still a car commercial and cars aren't a great part of today.

Jeff, Thursday, 9 January 2014 12:51 (eleven years ago)

My main problem is how horribad the song is

this is the moment marketing has been shitting into the outside lavatory for: the moment when the shitbox is full and the act of defecation now propels its fulsome ass upward on a mounting slick of entirely liquid shit

Something about electric car technology being held back by petrochemical industry and cars not being the problem per se

VENIET IMBER (imago), Thursday, 9 January 2014 14:31 (eleven years ago)

Something about solar energy

look, the real enemy is this advert, nae pretending otherwise

This is a terrible ad. We will always have that.

the script for this ad must have read:

★feminist parties i have attended (amateurist), Thursday, 9 January 2014 17:47 (eleven years ago)

i'd like to think this is just capitalism getting really "no, look over HERE!" anxious but like those trotskyites who predict capitalisms demise with every sag of the stock market I'm probably wrong

★feminist parties i have attended (amateurist), Thursday, 9 January 2014 17:48 (eleven years ago)

note the protestors w/ blank signs at 0:16 -- that's priceless.

★feminist parties i have attended (amateurist), Thursday, 9 January 2014 17:52 (eleven years ago)

btw i first saw a different version of this ad on TV that

1) only had about 4 seconds of guys on dusty front porch singin the blues

2) there had no continuous contrast between blues song and people "responding" to it; just 4 seconds of blues and then upbeat arcade firesque ukelele bullshit music with people looking unnaturally happy about life/honda

not sure which is worse

★feminist parties i have attended (amateurist), Thursday, 9 January 2014 17:56 (eleven years ago)

i really like the civic, my 06 has only 80k miles on it, but you never know, i could be in the market for another one soon. great job honda!

goole, Thursday, 9 January 2014 17:59 (eleven years ago)

i dont think melting polar ice caps are the reason why young people arent buying as many cars as they used to but i guess this ads ok

i think it's fair to assume that any commercial with sparklers and/or young rich white people in hats is going to same some ukulele in there
