Great cars. Dumb commercial.

A new Mercedes-Benz commercial starts out with the line, "You hear a lot of jokes about the weather." This so they can go on and say that bad weather is no joke. The only problem: You don't hear a lot of jokes about the weather. I can't think of one. Can you? So they started this spot with a comment that isn't true so they can end with the line, "And that's no joke". This is the kind of commercial I especially detest because it's so obviously written and by someone who isn't even interested in truth or logic. You might as well say, "You hear a lot of jokes about badgers". Then you could end the spot with, "The car nobody has to badger you to buy."
