God help me, I'm going to defend a commercial...

Lexus (and BMW for that matter) have a tradition of making mini-movies. (The Guy Ritchie ones with Madonna are pretty good.) They want you to go to the website and watch the dumb movie. (I myself haven't, cause I have a thing about being told what to do by a commercial.) That's why there's no point, it's really just the introduction. Maybe if Ryder Cup commercial spots weren't so expensive, more companies than Lexus could afford it. I do have a question...what do you all think of that 15 Minute Golf commercial? Anyone ever heard of that system? Any opinions on it?

I'm just wondering what happened to the days when the companies in golf ads had any relevance to a broke-humped slacker like me. Luxury cars? Investment banks that will be bankrupt or sold in a week? Where are the beer ads?

two reasons i believe.firstly Ray Floyd's rep. he's known to be arrogant, pompous, and he gets someone to drive him because he's Ray Floyd. Ray would'nt resort to driving himself.

secondly,the car he's in,the LS460L has all of the amenities in the back seat. The rear seats recline and have a foot rest, there is a table, a refrigerator, and heated/cooled/massage in the seats. the fun of this car is the back seat.

Now they're the dumb vodka ads (cause one good round deserves another).

I did just look at the website, it actually looks kind of cool. http://www.lexus.com/myownpursuit/

LOL, are you serious? I don't drink, I wouldn't know, but I'll believe you!

Vodka is the only food and drink product I know whose value increases with its tastelessness.

Hah! That's sort of true! I don't drink anymore, but in college, vodka was my drink of choice. And it's true, the better vodka has less taste! (But it's so smooth and that little taste is the right amount. Cheap vodka overwhelms you.)

[joshtpa]

I thought I read that Vodka ( unflavored of course) must be colorless and tasteless. The only taste you should get is that of alcohol and the cheaper the vodka (quality not price) the worse the alcohol taste is.

They shouldn't have given away 4 cars and kept the money to hire a production firm that makes better commercials. I would never buy a Lexus if they can only afford one commercial shown 200-300 times a week.
