    Counterfeit Mini

    How many of you have seen the "Counterfeit Mini" commercials.....they play over here ever now and then...the commercials are pretty damn funny but just when you're about to think the whole thing was a big joke, they put their website up and give a 1-800 number for you to call so you can order a video about it....heres the website but the commercial is much more funny....

    im pretty sure they are advertising the.....
    MINI COOPER

    and they are making a joke about people copying the mini (showing interest)..... and in the process getting you to go more in depth in the world of mini cooper by visiting the site and getting a laugh

    I know that this has nothing to do with the topic but I thought I'd bring it up haha yea have u guys seen the Dairy Queen commercial where the dad tells the kid that to make the last basket and that they'd go to Dairy Queen and after like 20 attempts and no basket the dad gets the hoop down and just holds it like 2 ft from the kid and the kid just nails him in the nose lol that is the coolest recent commercial so far

    it's actually a good way to do it too..... kinda like the toyota truck commercials where they make up some huge problem that the truck fixes (lack of tie downs and the people's turkey falls out the back...... there was also the one about dying truck beds in a field or something).....

    that commercial is particularly well because much like this thread implies, different people will read it differently.... ie, some will find it funny, some will think it's serious, etc.... however they are able to put the brand name out tons of times without actually selling you the product......
