Has anyone else caught one of these commercials yet? :lol I'm no fan of the cars, but I'll be damned if this isn't one of the best ad campaigns since Terry Tate. The commercial I saw was basically trying to sell a DVD for $19.99 that would help you tell the difference between a real Mini Cooper and a "counterfeit" Mini. Several of these counterfeits were shown in the commercial, my favorite being the giant Oldsmobile at the end that tried to parallel park in a spot that a Mini would fit into and failing miserably. :lol The commercial made it seem as if there was a huge overseas racket going on and that people were being duped by street vendors and on the internet.

In case anyone's interested in checking out the commercial, this guy has it hosted.

I saw the commercial on ESPN about a week ago, and was quite amused. As a Mini fan, the DVD is tempting, but $20 for 10 minutes is a bit steep. Still, I'm a sucker for anything Mini. hrm...
