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.
