Top Secret Ford Ad Not So Secret

AdFreak wonders if this “top secret” Ford Ranger ad which popped up on YouTube yesterday will make an appearance in this year’s Super Bowl and whether or not it is even intended to run in the U.S. We think not. Predictably, the YouTube user that uploaded the video is new and the video is the only one in the member’s profile. The member is also from Portugal which means the ad could be a commercial emanating out of that country or it could mean nothing at all. One commenter notes the truck’s steering wheel is on the right side, a pretty clear indication this is a non-American ad. And the tagline at the end of the ad, “Make Every Day Exciting” is one we haven’t seen before. Guess we’ll just have to wait for the press release for more details.

Oh, and can we stop with the ridiculous pickup-truck-in-peril scenarios that, clearly, no truck could ever escape from without massive damage or water-induced stalling? But wait, it is kind of a cool ad isn’t it?

Received Pronunciation, the accent linguists still nickname the Queen’s English, took shape inside a handful of England’s most expensive private schools, and it remains such a reliable marker of that background that a stranger can often place someone’s education within a single sentence.
