      There used to be a ad for an auto body repair, Maaco. Their ad would end with spelling out the name, but in the middle were horns honking, “M double A (Beep Beep) C O” Fucking hated that ad.

        The fact that you remember this is exactly why they will keep doing it. Remember: ads are psychological warfare.

          Unfortunately for any ads that try to pull this shit on me these days, my brain automatically overwrites the memory of it with the OG rage-inducing advertisement

          “Head on, apply directly to the forehead!”

            Alternate view: they hate the wrong chain, ergo the ad still worked.

            I hate ads. And now hate Maaco & Aamco too.

          You’re right, my mistake.

          Shows what a shitty ad it was. It was so bad, I was boycotting an entirely different business.
