The essence of Madison Avenue coyly captured on video. Priceless. The only problem with an ad like this is that the models outstrip the product, in more ways than one.

Cheesy. Looks like they have a odd strain of Parkinsons. Do they ever stop dancing? I don't hear any music.

Do they have restless entire body syndrome?

I get dizzy watching it.

You watch the ad, but don't pay much att'n to the product or what dipsy-doodle is saying.

It's DOWNEY. It's a classy place for light industrial manufacturing, bars, and strip joints.

Those ads run all day long literally on channel 14-17 or so. I think Cal Worthington in his cowboy hat is a minority on the airwaves.

Anyway, it was nice of the girls to take time out of their busy lap-dancing schedule to make those commercials. I wonder how many dumbasses went to the dealership with the expectation that they would be there?

Those girls have ants in their pants! Also, a lot of pickup truck buyers who'd like to be ants.

Whatever works. I have the same idea to use chicks and tits to lure people into saturday nights at the driving range. We got one in town thats changed ownership like 10 times in the last couple years, finally just went closed. We got 3 strip clubs, thats a lot of opportunity.

Give it to one of the salesmen, on the condition that he use it to buy a pair of pants that are actually constructed out of a natural fiber.
