[Spridgets] OT... TV ad for Scion

[Tncarnut1]

In case you can't tell, I suck at typing on my phone... My computer has been out of service for a little over a week, so all my personal B emails are at lunch from work (except I'm on vaca...) or via my Samsung phone. The phone really likes writing what it thinks I meant rather than what I intended, and I apparently can not proof worth a crap on this tiny screen.B 

So... please understand that I actually do know how to compose a sentence or paragraph in proper English. My fat finger just has trouble getting it done via the available equipment!

I was just talking about this to a friend last night. What they've done is pot a period into the reading when the written text had or was supposed to have a comma. The next line says "with direct fuel injection..."

If they had read the chippy of the add correctly, it would be a true statement. The FRS (and the BRZ) are in fact the first-ever direct injection horizontally-opposed for-bangers.B 

Apparently niether the advertising people, or the marketing types at Scion are smart enough to realize the mistake yet.

Is anyone else bothered by the ad Scion currently runs?BB  Directly quoted it
says, "The world's first and only horizontally opposed boxer engine."

Porsche, VW, Tucker and a number of motorcycles come to mind....

How do they get away with this?

The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living
are outnumbered by those who vote for a living.
