What was Volkswagon thinking?
Their ads have a current owner of a Jetta calling up the previous owner who seems really surprised to hear from the new owner.
The new owner is excited to talk to the previous owner and says they should hang out.
The previous owner seems to be thinking, "what the heck is going on?"
Does anyone else wonder how the current owner got the previous owners name?
Granted, it is an advertisement, but to me it seems to be sending the message that "we're selling your used car to some stalker wacko who is going to find you and bug you to spend time with him/her." But, that is a great reason to buy our car!
Whoever thought this ad up, wasn't thinking the concept through.
This is one creepy weird ad.
Moron Alert - Standby Lights on Equipment
What is with all the "standby" lights on all the new vcr's, dvd's and lots of other pieces of equipment?
When I turn off the equipment, the green light turns red to tell me it is in standby mode just ready and waiting for me to use it again.
Who doesn't know when a piece of equipment is off? Most things have a light to tell you it is on, so unless you are a moron, when the light is off the machine is off.
What moron decided to have all these lights showing when a machine is off?
Now all my machines show a red light when they are off. When they are off I want them off and not sucking electricity down the tube. Even though the engineers would say it is only a tiny amount. Times that by millions of machines and it is a stupid waste of electricity.
On some equipment, like battery chargers, the light is green when you connect a battery to them and they stay green.
Others are green when you connect a battery to them and then the green light flashes when the battery is charged.
Still other chargers don't show any light until the battery is charged and then they either blink green or the green light comes on.
Even still others have a red light when you put the battery in which changes to green when the battery is charged.
When people have ipods, cameras, computers, tools, etc., all with batteries and chargers, it is just giggly fun to try and remember which stupid sequence the charger lights you should expect to see.
But please, moron engineer, when a piece of equipment is off, get rid of the stupid, moronic, absolutely idiotic red light to tell you the machine is off. It is stupid, stupid, stupid, and did I forget to say stupid?
The first person who decided to design the equipment with that dumb red light turned on to tell you that the machine is off sunk us all a step down in the premordial ooze.
When that person dies and takes those moron ideas to the grave, we should put a small red light on his or her headstone.....permanently lit.
