    Just saw a TV ad for Volvo with Twilight movie as a marketing hook. WTF! Anyone seen this?

    This must be the craziest link up ever. Could their target audiences be further apart?!

    Maybe they're anticipating that the kids of people who might one day 'drive a Volvo' will rabbit on about how the Volvo ads contain their most favoritist people in the world until the parents cave in and buy a Volvo

    With a hedgehog the pr1cks are on the outside.

    So, car companies are using the same strategy to get us to part with thousands of euros that the likes of McDonalds use to get us to part with a fiver.

    The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

    They'll probably be selling Volvos in Hot Topic next.

    I'd love to know who is in their Marketing team. Unless your target audience is 14, why on earth would you highlight Twillight in a Ad for your product.
