Ads get gross

Article in Slate about a gross Hyundai ad and old people in ads in general. The article also uses the phrase "adland"!

excerpt from the article... "The spot focuses on a young man and young woman of college or possibly high-school age. They're driving at night, in a Hyundai Sonata. You can hear the sounds of another couple in the back seat, making out. The two kids in the front look plainly uncomfortable, exchanging grossed-out glances and rolling their eyes at how hot and heavy it's getting back there. A high-heeled foot briefly pokes its way into the front seat. Finally the car rolls to a stop in front of a restaurant. The kid who is driving says, "Mom, Dad. We're here." Finally we see the couple in the back—Mom and Dad, who look to be in their 50s, and a little startled to find their heavy-petting session interrupted. In a word: Ewww! Who wants to think about their parents groping in the back seat? Anybody? Anybody?" The ad they're talking about can be viewed at Hyundais american site under "showroom" -> "commercials".
