Commercial Break

I wrote a post a while ago about cars being metaphors for sex in rock songs, and auto ads can be highly suggestive too. The subtext is usually “Drive this and you’ll be fighting them off with a stick” but I don’t think I’ve seen one quite so blatant in equating cars with fucking as this one for MG. It has all the subtlety of a Benny Hill gag, and JG Ballard would have loved its erotic suggestion of a hand break being like a STIFF COCK.

It even makes this song seem subtle. “Pull up to my bumper baby and drive it in between” indeed!
