Zipcar Plays the Tease: Promises Sex, Takes it Away

We were buggering around on some other ad sites when we came across this set of banners for Zipcar flashing at us.

Under the impression that Zipcar was offering us 350 hours for sex, we were scandalized and a little perplexed.

And then we realized it was giving us two facts. Apparently, according to some average out there in the ether, people spend 350 hours having sex and 420 hours looking for parking.

Armed with this new understanding, we were even more excited: using a Zipcar can nail us that displaced 420 hours (for sex)! Then we thought, wait. Driving a Zipcar won’t win us more down-and-dirty time; it’ll just ensure that we don’t have to pay for that time (parking is included in the Zipcar deal).

Half-heartedly we thought, well, that’s almost as good as sex. But no, it isn’t.
