Nissan Goes Rouge in New Ad

The latest edition from Nissan has been airing non-stop recently:

Here are the two main fine prints:

The fine print is so large and lasts so long that it is fairly noticeable and takes away from what the car is actually doing. Of course what the car is actually doing would be ridiculous even for a James Bond movie. There are also two smaller fine prints, bringing the total fine print airtime to 20 seconds in the 30 second commercial. Instead of spending money on airing a commercial every 15 minutes with an impossible stunt littered with fine prints, why couldn’t Nissan just tell you want the car actually does? 

Nissan Sign and Not Test Drive Ad

This week's ad is from Nissan:


The fine print is at the beginning:

While the fine print in this is clever, I am not sure it is even necessary. The ad does not portray the action as a test drive until the end of the commercial, and even then, its not clear that the earlier desert scene is a test drive. But I always wanted to test drive a car by doing donuts in the desert with other cars in the way. Bummer. 

Taking Trucks to the Next Frontier?

This week’s edition is from Nissan:

This is a double fine print edition:

This one can be put into the very obvious category. Clearly there are computer generated graphics to show the truck doing absurd stunts, but I’m sure there are idiots out there who would try to imitate it. Now if there were videos of people attempting it, I would be impressed.
