The "fast" commercials are really stupid to this old fogey.. I just
don't get it.  But I'm probably in nobody's target market anymore.

OTOH, the "unpimp my ride" series is funny.  Coming from a German
background and having a number of my wife's family who still says "V"
for "W" regularly, the engineer (even though the actor is a Swede)
pulls it off.

I look at the "unpimp" series as a backhanded slap at the very culture
that the "fast" series is playing to.
