Renault Espace Ad Spawns More WTFness

Oh. OK. Now we get it. The Renault Espace is soooooooooooooooo spacious it takes 70 years to to climb into it and enjoy all it has to offer before exiting. WTF? So, in 70 years we are to believe the car hasn’t changed at all from exposure to the elements? The trees haven’t grown at all? The condition of the road hasn’t changed?

Please. Tell us we are completely misunderstanding this commercial and there’s a joke we aren’t getting because if we have it right, it’s one of the lamest ads we’ve ever seen. Unless, of course, it’s local Italian (where the ad cam from) humor escapes our admittedly lame, very unworldly American sensibilities.

I’m 65 and I’ve spent my entire adult life wondering why I can’t just accept a compliment without immediately deflecting it — until a therapist told me that children who grew up without affection don’t learn to believe they deserve kindness

Psychology says the most intelligent people are often the loneliest not because they can’t connect but because they can only connect at a depth that most find exhausting — and after a lifetime of watching others back away from conversations that were just getting interesting, they stop reaching out entirely because rejection dressed as discomfort is still rejection

Psychology says the reason most people never truly heal from their childhood isn’t that the wounds are too deep — it’s that they’ve mistaken coping for recovery and never learned the difference
