Volvo flatters TWC
« on: February 29, 2008, 10:36:10 PM »
I meant to bring this up when I first saw it a few weeks ago, but there's a Volvo SUV ad out there now that features a mock weather forecast with the fake "OCM" forecasting good performance by the SUV in the wintry weather, resulting in "a lot of togetherness".

At the very end of the commercial, the "OCM" ends by saying, "Now, your Local Forecast."

I've seen that commercial! I didn't pick up on the fact that it was a mock of TWC though until I read this.  :thrilled:
