Ad Creeps

Everybody loves a good pyramid scheme, and we’re no different. This week on Ad Creeps, Courtney breaks the glass window between you and the tire industry, or maybe we just talk about Flintstone cars a lot. Either way, you’ll learn a little something about this Discount Tire ad, and way too much about us.

What’s so subversive about the so-called Uncola, huh? This week, Courtney takes Al for a drive down memory lane and thankfully they both make it out unscathed, which is more than we can say for the oft-recycled “Teen Angel” archetype. Though, admit it… you’d eat the cheeseburger, right??
