Mercedes VS Austin Horse

BFF vet Daniel Leeb recently shot this race of Austin Horse vs. a GLK for Mercedes. Not sure what market Mercedes is trying to break into with this, but it was intertaining none-the-less. Kinda felt like I was watching an Andy Samberg SNL sketch (only funnier?)

Part 1


Part 2


Seen at Prollys!

That was possibly the worst ad I have ever seen by a company with enough money to produce a legitimate ad.

I just can't seem to wrap my head around why a company would produce a promotional video that literally has the plot of "we have more money than advertising sense" and concedes that the only thing that makes their car better than a bike is that it has cup holders.

Wow, the key message of that ad was: "yeah, but I got heated seats and I just chill"
and
"Ha! Look at those dumbass NYC messengers risking their lives for no reason!"

Mercedes has totally taken a piss out of cycling... it will come back to them tenfold. Right on the hood.
