I wonder who claims the trademark on "I pass gas.â„¢"

American Association of Nurse Anesthetists! B) We pass gas all the time, and deliver epidurals to ladies in labor, their always happy to see you coming!

I'd like to meet the marketing rep for this dealer. What exactly are they going for here? The woman does nothing for the ad and wouldn't encourage me to spend extra time looking at it.

If they were trying to be humorous and go for a double meaning...well they failed miserably in my opinion.

Maybe it's one of those new scratch n sniff ads?

That's a freakin hilariously witty ad imo. I bet the marketing rep likes looking at woman.....unlike some peeps!

I would look at it and so did you.

It got our attention at least once , and comments too

any add for the prius is almost better than none at least people will see the car

I'll pass on the bodily function humor.

I agree, I think its funny... :lol:

But they should have had the model in a 60's mini-skirt with the wild colors... :mellow:

The USPTO web site says that Michael Zschoche at 219 Marine Avenue Newport Beach CA 92662 has applied for the trade mark, but it's classified as a "service mark," for whatever that's worth. It was filed on April 12 of this year and has something to do with an auto dealership. I suspect that Mikey has some affiliation with Elmore Toyota, but what prompted him to trademark the phrase is beyond me!

Like it or not, he's the man to collect the royalties.

oops (SM)

I think it's cute and effective.

It only has something to do with bodily function if you think it has something to do with bodily function.

That's the joke. Get it?

I'm with Darken on this one.

I have to wonder what kind of yahoos are running that dealership.
That advertisement is going to turn off a good percentage of their potential customers - NEVER A GOOD THING!

Their poor taste in advertisement makes me concerned about how they would treat me as a customer.

Nice assement of the ad Darken!

I'm just going to say what I always say when somebody complains about ANY ad. It got your attention and you will remember it. That's what the ad agency wanted and that's what they accomplished! Good job on their part.
