Has anyone seen the creepy Michelin commercial? The one about the "sad stretch of road?"
I don't know if they show this commercial during anything other than NHL games, but since I watch a hockey game, ahem, now and then, I've been grossed out by this commercial for months.
Basically, it shows how these Michelin tires help you stop sooner, so you won't run over helpless little cartoon animals. The car skids to a stop, in front of a screaming bunny. Behind the screaming bunny are the squished bodies of a bunch of other cartoon animals. The car skids, the road flaps like a sheet, and all the little cartoon animals -- the ones that have been SMASHED INTO THE PAVEMENT -- flap up into the air and are brought back to life. The commercial ends with all the happy little cartoon animals dancing with the Michelin Man!
Every one of them still has tire tracks across its mid-section.
Disturbing.

I agree.. that commercial is utterly disturbing. The half-alive smashed bodies of strangely coloured animals does not paint a good picture. I hate the fact that most of their heads are still alive and their bodies are dead. One has a tire track running through him and he is playing a harmonica. The harmonica goes along with more creepy music that plays until the end. It looks like a scene from a horror movie. Who came up with the idea for THAT advertisement?
