Default Re: Commercials with non-existent target demographics

I found the old Chevy Avalanche truck ad ridiculous. There were five guys in the truck, with like one white guy, two asians, a black guy and a hispanic. I am thinking these five guys have never ridden in the same car together, much less a pickup truck.

when I used to play basketball at the Y, there were all kinds of people from 18 year old black kids, to 40 year old white dudes.

Also, the weekly basketball game that I play in regularly includes at least two asians, an indian guy, a pacific islander and a handful of whiteys. Sometimes these two black dudes come, too, but strangely they're not that good.

Not sure why, but this struck me as very funny..... YMMV

I hear this radio ad all the time in the DC area. It's some defense contractor like Northrop Grumman touting their new trillion dollar weapons system.
I mean, like ok I really want one of these. But hey, they don't even give you a phone number or nothing. WTF is up with that?
