My guess is, obviously they didn't.

I don't think marketing people ever watch movies, or listen to popular music. Either that, or they are all really, really stupid and convinced that everyone else is too. Case in point: car commercials using "Won't Get Fooled Again" as background music.

My personal favorite was the use of "Major Tom" to advertise a car -- 'cause being lost forever in space inspires me to buy a car!

Ummm.. yeah. No.

Do advertising agencies just have a list of 'hot' topics, without any idea what they are?

It would be even better if they had spent the effort on making their system reliable.

I have it on good authority that this system suffered a significant failure recently.

Ummm... yeah.

First in agreement of fear of entering the hospital again, second, yes, very cool on the kinda wrong levels, and third "red or blue" lollipops offered to kid... again great but maybe not quite the message they want to convey.... :)
