Pre-Owned BMW Ads Now Completely Indiscernible From Syphilis PSAs

What It's Selling: Pre-owned Bimmers

Where It's At: Greece

What This Ad Literally Says: "You know you're not the first"

What This Ad Intends To Say: Would you say no to a sexy looking woman just because she's not a virgin? Probably not unless you're one of those "religious types." Therefore, BMW hopes you'd respond similarly when given the offer of a great car someone's driven before.

What This Ad Suggests: A used Bimmer is a hot woman who looks sort of like Sienna Miller.

Jalopnik Snap Judgment: This pervy POV shot looks exactly like the STD ads they're putting in the men's rooms at bars. Change the little BMW logo to "Get Tested" and it works just as well.

However, the ad's also pretty good at getting the point across — used Bimmers are cheaper than new ones. Also, they can give you Syphilis.

Audi Keeps with MC Escher Theme in Print Ad for Brazil

Last year, Audi produced a European TV spot based on the work of MC Escher, which was one of the coolest uses of video CGI we'd seen — if just for its subtlety. Now, Audi is carrying the theme over to a print ad for Brazil. We're just wondering whether the Quattro system really provides enough traction to transcend spacial boundaries, or whether you need some kind of adapter for that.
