What about the ad for the truck that has a voiceover talking about the Trojan Horse, and what would have happened if it were an armadillo instead, and then shows the truck driving over a bridge? What does it mean?!?!

I think I might have mentioned this one before:

There's also the car commercial where a speaker is talking to a room full of people, about "being a giant before your peers" and motivational junk like that. Then, he says, "Close your eyes, and picture yourselves in this...", and gestures towards the screen behind him, which cuts to a shot of the car.

He tells them to close their eyes, and then says "picture yourselves in this..." They've got their frickin' eyes closed! They can't see what you're showing them! Sheesh...
