Audi ad China blowback for mom’s treatment of son’s bride

CNN and others are saying that an ad for used Audis being aired in China has received a lot of criticism for its alleged portrayal of women. The complaint from those upset by the ad is that it compares women to used cars. (There are days when The Bulldog feels like a used car). But any way you look it, this ad is better than the “Never follow” promotion of ten years ago which was an encouragement to drive your Audi like a lunatic. These days, themes for North American sales include “Intelligence is the new Rock and Roll.” Not sure what that means but okay. In the end, it is a funny notion (and not unknown) that a mother-in-law would be so pushy but no reason to buy a car. Please do not write to complain about this post.
