Anyone catch the new commmercial spot for a candy-apple red Hummer H3? The one with "Love is Strange" in the background, with the Iron Giant clone getting... well...
You can catch two versions of the ad whilst exploring Hummer.Com's Flash-Player requiring site (second window, either the "See the new TV Spot" link on the bottom or "Hummer World" in the toolbar's upper right followed by "TV Commercials") or you can just catch a Quicktime version of the minute-long spot right here, friends.
I can't believe I may be the first to write about this, especially since it's listed in this TV-blog entry allegedly from over a month ago, unless that's some kind of TV/advertising insider reporting. If that's not the case, the ad's either been strategically placed so we've all missed it, or some of this board's 'loyal' TV viewers aren't pulling their weight. :glare:

I saw it. I was just too disturbed to remember it until now.

Bumping this up to ask "Anyone else see this ad?" (Whether or not you thought "Oh, that's just wrong.")

Am I the only one who gets flashbacks to the 6000SUX commercial in RoboCop?

Trust me, that commercial was clever--this one was the kind of thing you'd show to children who had been bad...
Personally, if I already didn't think Hummers were ugly, gas-guzzling penis replacements the fact that they apparently come out of the cloaca of a giant furry lizard thingy would be enough to dissuade me from EVER BUYING ONE.

Oh, yeah....this is nightmare fuel.
The pregnant lizard thingy about to give birth...the proud parents...what was Hummer trying to tell us about their product with this imagery?
:wacko: Or do we want to know?

Even someone as well-versed in pseudo-Freudian overinterpretation of movies as I am cannot figure out that... which is truly saying something.

Well, yes to SELL the product...not make the audience wonder about your Id.
Not MY Id, your Id...My Id is perfectly fine, in a weird interdimentional kinda way.

You guys may be trying too hard to give the admen credit for thinking this through before slapping it on the screen. They just wanted something splashy that would get everyone's attention. "Hey, let's have Godzilla crap it out!" he said eagerly, turning to his brainstorming partner, Beavis...
