It might be true that large corporations such as KFC can crush the government, but is it really necessary to illustrate this unpleasant truth so dramatically?

The real payoff is at the end of this film, where everyone indulges in consensual fantasy role-playing.

This is an actual Japanese McDonald's ad that has become somewhat notorious for its over-the-top portrayal of youthful excitement.

The problem here is the product, first of all. Who wants to smell like a hillbilly? We all know what hillbillies smell like: manure, chewing tobacco, unwashed linens and athlete's foot. Given this product to tout, all the advertising guy could come up with is a Daisy Mae-type figure totally emasculating the wearer of this cologne. Good going!

What does this ad teach us?
1) Your friendly neighborhood car mechanic is a whining, moronic crook.
2) Your new car purchase can undermine the local economy.
3) If and when you do need your new car serviced, by any surviving garage, it will undoubtedly be sabotaged.
