Edward Cullins: CAR SALESMAN?!?

Sun Nov 1, 2009, 3:48 AM
Okay... So I woke up this morning checking youtube for messages. Y'know how they have those big, moving, banner ads? Well, they had one up for Volvo, the car company. I paid it no mind, checked my messages, scrolled back up and realized that the final shot was Edward Cullins of Twilight/New Moon/WTF-Ever fame standing beside (presumably his)Volvo, and off to the side in the ad, it mentions something about winning two tickets to New Moon in a sweepstakes.

...

If that doesn't make you all face-palm, I don't know what the hell will. I don't even see Twi-hards buying this crap of an advertisement (though I probably will, unfortunately. After all, Twi-hards are beginning to become the lowest form of human being.) I mean, I WATCHED the advert again, just because the concept of selling cars via Edward made no freaking sense. And you know what? It's one of the worst car commercials I've seen! It seems to promote the movie more than anything, the car feels like tacked-on product placement, and if Edward is supposed to sell you on it, all the shots of him used just make him look like some serial rapist/cannibal/person/thing, like he stares at everything wondering what he can do to it.

I complain about stupid advertisements all the time, but I mean, WHAT THE HELL, VOLVO!
