AdAge Rips Lincoln an Extraneous Orifice

Advertising Age's Bob Garfield sets the lasagna aside and goes to town on Lincoln's new aspiration-tweaking ad campaign, saying:

" It is mind-boggling, in this day and age, with a marketing revolution in progress, that anybody would be so backward as to sling this bullshit. More remarkable still, the commercial is so busy being cinematic and ethereal, it doesn't even give you much of a look at the cars-much less an opportunity to fall in love with them."

Two things though, Bob — Lincoln doesn't make the Continental anymore. And there's a reason they don't want you to look at the cars. [Thanks to CTE for the tip.]
