Celebrities like&nbsp;</font><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3T3ZM-Vgww&amp;t=90s"><font size="4">Ice T</font></a><font size="4">&nbsp;walk you through what happens when you need to fix your car and how Car Shield is &ldquo;there for you,&rdquo; but the most compelling endorsements come from two auto mechanics who assure you that Car Shield is what you need in case anything goes wrong with your vehicle.</font><br /><font size="4">&nbsp;</font><br /><font size="4">As a service to our readers, the&nbsp;</font><a href="http://intergalacticbiz.com/"><font size="4">Intergalactic Business Report</font></a><font size="4">&nbsp;takes seriously corporate claims about what consumers &ldquo;need,&rdquo; and we went deep in examining the non-celebrity experts shown in the ads. What we found was nothing short of astounding, as we uncovered that the mechanics interviewed were the most trustworthy advocates for your well-being as a customer.</font><br /><font size="4">&nbsp;</font><br /><font size="4">Take the&nbsp;</font><a href="https://www.ispot.tv/ad/BphK/carshield-real-life-mechanics"><font size="4">father-son duo</font></a><font size="4">&nbsp;Paul and Pete, who are definitely father and son, who tell a female advertorial reporter that if you don&rsquo;t have Car Shield, you could end up paying thousands in auto repairs. Their sincerity as they tell stories of the downtrodden who did NOT have Car Shield and found themselves at their mercy as they charged them thousands, is gripping and real. We fully endorse these two men as beacons for car security and justice and, because of them, we believe paying money to Car Shield means you never have to worry again&mdash;about anything.</font><br /><font size="4">&nbsp;</font><br /><font size="4">Because there is a longstanding myth that male auto mechanics take financial advantage of female customers, we work to dispel that notion as we offer a litany of reasons why women everywhere should trust the father-son Car Shield mechanics. While our assessments are based solely on conjecture and stereotypes about East Coast-looking blue-collar men, we still list several unverifiable reasons women should let these noble dudes guide their decisions&mdash;all of their decisions&mdash;forevermore.&nbsp;</font><br /><font size="4">&nbsp;</font><br /><strong><font size="5">Reasons women should trust the father-son Car Shield mechanics.</font></strong><br /><br /><font size="4">-Their stories about women entering their shop and crying are realistic and true.</font><br /><font size="4">&nbsp;</font><br /><font size="4">-They look like they own a van together, that&rsquo;s not covered by Car Shield, but where they take strippers who want to party after hours.</font><br /><font size="4">&nbsp;</font><br /><font size="4">-After the interview, they for sure asked the reporter if she wanted to do a three way. Then they made a joke about lube, which she didn&rsquo;t understand.</font><br /><font size="4">&nbsp;</font><br /><font size="4">-Mechanics operate under a code of honor that prohibits them from making false claims about the condition of your car or what it may need to have repaired, replaced, or added. It&rsquo;s like you&rsquo;re talking to a knight of the round table only he&rsquo;s wearing overalls and you&rsquo;re pretty sure you went to high school with him, and he was a dick.</font><br /><font size="4">&nbsp;</font><br /><font size="4">-They treat men and women equally and without condescension or leering as they enter and leave their shop.</font><br /><font size="4">&nbsp;</font><br /><font size="4">-They coach Little League and give back to the community or some shit like that.&nbsp;</font><br /><font size="4">&nbsp;</font><br /><font size="4">-They have a &ldquo;philosophical side&rdquo; where they tell you about the difference between men and women and that there are &ldquo;two different&rdquo; kinds of both of them.</font><br /><font size="4">&nbsp;</font><br /><font size="4">-They have a &ldquo;sensitive side&rdquo; where they try to have sex with you as the sun is setting on the beach and there are other people around, but who gives a shit because you&rsquo;ve got a beach towel.&nbsp;</font><br /><font size="4">&nbsp;</font><br /><font size="4">-They have posters of women in bikinis in their bathroom even though you can&rsquo;t find posters of women in bikinis anymore (except in their bathroom).&nbsp;</font><br /><font size="4">&nbsp;</font><br /><font size="4">-They argue with each other about sandwiches.</font><br /><font size="4">&nbsp;</font><br /><font size="4">-Their search histories are just &ldquo;hot chick fucks mechanic.&rdquo;</font><br /><font size="4">&nbsp;</font><br /><font size="4">-Their Car Shield speech is eerily similar to the speech they give about not wearing condoms.&nbsp;</font><br /><font size="4">&nbsp;</font><br /><font size="4">-They have the Pacino-Deniro scene in &ldquo;Heat&rdquo; memorized and they switch off between who&rsquo;s Pacino and who&rsquo;s Deniro and get pissed off when one of them flubs a line.&nbsp;</font><br /><font size="4">&nbsp;</font><br /><font size="4">-If you date them, it&rsquo;s about three weeks in before they&rsquo;re talking to you while taking a dump with the door wide open.&nbsp;</font><br /><br /></div>  <div style="text-align:left;"><div style="height: 10px; overflow: hidden;"></div> <a class="wsite-button wsite-button-small wsite-button-normal" href="http://ibrmerch.com" target="_blank"> <span class="wsite-button-inner">These tees are there for you when your car breaks down</span> </a> <div style="height: 10px; overflow: hidden;"></div></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Modelo Cowboy is recruiting full-time delusional people.

But if this motherfucker shows up and hands you a beer, it&rsquo;s time to check yourself into a group home. As he journeys through backyards, bars, and parking lots, the cowboy is a pied piper for the mentally ill, rewarding them with alcohol for their devotion to insane, magical, and compulsive beliefs. In other words, we fully endorse Modelo and their cowboy as the best and most brilliant manifestation of every corporate pitch, sales strategy, and trademark. The cowboy now stands on top of a pile of dead competitor ideas, and he pisses all over them. But in a cool way.&nbsp;</font><br /><font size="4">&nbsp;</font><br /><font size="4">Fuck Tony the Tiger and the Pilsbury Doughboy. It needed to be said. Because those dickheads have been replaced by a new era of endorsements&mdash;done by people who embrace hallucinations and compulsive disorders because that&rsquo;s what sells beer, damn it.

The National Dental Association officially bans putting government tracking and listening devices in your teeth and pledges to remove all the old ones they already put in. The message is delivered by &ldquo;Surveilly,&rdquo; a giant tooth with a radio antenna coming out of it. At the end of the commercial he rips out all his wiring to show he&rsquo;s serious.&nbsp;</font><br /><font size="4">&nbsp;</font><br />5.<font size="4">&nbsp;<a href="https://www.fuddruckers.com/">Fuddruckers</a>&nbsp;airs a commercial where the CEO promises that none of his employees will spit in your food.

MileagePlus customers are encouraged to press all the buttons and challenge their minds to figure out how using miles works. Please contact us if you discover the secret.

Maybe there was also something about being hungover at work because you drank 13 shitty beers and wiped wing sauce off on your pants by accident. Not that the wing sauce would make you hungover, but you get it.&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;<br />As we dig into this day of scattered emotions, misdirected anger, and regret, let us also recognize that many teams sat home and did not play. And that many commercials did as well. Today, the Intergalactic Business Report honors those ads that did not make the cut&mdash;either because they were too controversial, cost too much money, or simply didn&rsquo;t exist. While the actual advertisements were never made, we did discover the working titles that, we feel, pretty much tell the story.&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;<br /><strong>Cicis Pizza.</strong>&nbsp;&ldquo;Somebody did something to the food.

The Safelite Tik Tok <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CommercialsIHate/comments/1do8nle/the_characters_in_this_safelite_ad_are_so_annoying/">bros</a> featured in ad spots that seem to augur the end of civilization may be the most despised commercial figures of 2024. The pair of way-too-old-to-be-acting-this-way hipsters embark on road trips in which they revel in the idea of cracking their windshields so they can make Safelite employees uncomfortable as they film and pressure them into singing the company jingle. <br /> <br />The internet (because it&rsquo;s like a person now) has stated that the duo &ldquo;makes we want to die a little inside&rdquo; as well as suggesting they &ldquo;be used as human windshields.&rdquo;<br /> <br />As part of our service to the corporate world, the Intergalactic Business Report offers Safelite Auto Glass (for free) six new pairings to replace the bros. We firmly believe any of these will be a dramatic improvement: <br /> <br /><strong>1. </strong><strong>Crack whores Deborah and Chastity. </strong><br />When two loveable crack whores have the windshield of their car/home kicked in by a murderous hobo, they must repair it or face death by either another hobo attack or the chill of winter. They call Safelite, but there&rsquo;s no way they&rsquo;re going to show up to a homeless encampment under a bridge until&hellip; Chastity offers to suck off the repair dude. <br /> <br /><strong>2. </strong><strong>Feral dogs Alex and Luther. </strong><br />Alex and Luther spend their time roaming the countryside and feeding off garbage and road kill they find along the way until&hellip; Luther sees some teenagers who have run out of gas. Terrified by the hellish hounds, the youngsters hide in their car and must pretend they have a cracked windshield in order to lure the Safelite repairman to their site. When he arrives, they scamper into his pristine Safelite truck while Alex and Luther salute the teenagers for their offering to the dogs. Then they feast on the body of their newfound prey. (In case you don&rsquo;t get it, the teenagers have &ldquo;replaced&rdquo; themselves with the Safelite repairman, thus &ldquo;saving&rdquo; themselves as well as a ton on money on gas.)<br /> <br /><strong>3. </strong><strong>Hate bricks. </strong><br />The &ldquo;hate bricks,&rdquo; who have no names, are possessed by pure evil and cause anyone who touches them to be overcome by their power. First thing the hate bricks make you do? Throw them through people&rsquo;s car windshields. The clever advertising trick here is that the hate bricks actually work for Safelite and this is how they drum up business. After their victims call Safelite, they usually pick up the bricks to remove them from the car and guess what? They too become possessed and start whipping them into other people&rsquo;s windshields making massive profits for the company. (Note. This is only an ad idea. There are no such bricks in real life so you will have to figure out your own way to smash people&rsquo;s windshields.)<br /> <br /><strong>4. </strong><strong>Racial stereotype shapeshifter twins Terry and Gwen. </strong><br />These whacky twins can change their bodies but only to take the form of offensive racial stereotypes. When their windshield gets destroyed by a gale force wind, they call Safelite and hilariously offend the repair guy as he&rsquo;s subjected to a veritable real life slideshow of insensitively dressed humans with exaggerated racial features. When it comes time to pay, they turn into an average looking white guy. Anyway, there's a lot of "replacement" themes you can use with this one. Have at it. <br /> <br /><strong>5. </strong><strong>Jake and Mongo: Fartners for life. </strong><br />Jake and Mongo are two large farts that work together to destroy car windshields. Jake whistles in the wind as future Safelite customers drive on the highway. It&rsquo;s like an eerie warning of things to come. The driver looks at the passenger as if to ask, &ldquo;Did you hear that?&rdquo; Then, out of nowhere, Mongo shatters the windshield with his enormous fart power. The car goes over a cliff as the flying glass makes it impossible for the driver to see. Just as it&rsquo;s about to hit the ground, Mongo and Jake join forces to lift it back onto the road using their fart winds. Both driver and passenger are repelled by the stench, but thank Jake and Mongo for saving them. Then the Safelite repairman shows up and asks, &ldquo;Who farted?&rdquo; <br /> <br /><strong>6. Gary and Sancho: Two assholes driving a gravel truck. </strong><br />This is your &ldquo;reality tv&rdquo; option, where the people who are actually responsible for all windshield cracks show how they do it by overloading a crappy truck with gravel and taking it out on the highway to ruin everyone&rsquo;s cars. Call these two guys Gary and Sancho and show them laughing as they wreck windows everywhere. Then, out of nowhere, comes a Safelite truck that pulls them over by forcing them off the road. The Safelite repair man steps out and shoots Gary. Sancho gets out and runs into a field where he is soon tracked down and executed. <br /> <br />*O.K. We guess that was never a thing. Don&rsquo;t sue us, Lambo. </font></div>  <div style="text-align:left;"><div style="height: 10px; overflow: hidden;"></div> <a class="wsite-button wsite-button-small wsite-button-normal" href="http://ibrmerch.com" target="_blank"> <span class="wsite-button-inner">Buy our crappy Merch</span> </a> <div style="height: 10px; overflow: hidden;"></div></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[10 reasons I hate my new Birddogs pants and why you should NEVER buy them.  Hee hee. By Ed Mountaineer.]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.intergalacticbiz.com/hidden-brand-messages/10-reasons-i-hate-my-new-my-new-birddogs-pants-and-why-you-should-never-buy-them-hee-hee-by-ed-mountaineer]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.intergalacticbiz.com/hidden-brand-messages/10-reasons-i-hate-my-new-my-new-birddogs-pants-and-why-you-should-never-buy-them-hee-hee-by-ed-mountaineer#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Thu, 04 Apr 2024 18:44:26 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Marketing Analysis & Hidden Advertising]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.intergalacticbiz.com/hidden-brand-messages/10-reasons-i-hate-my-new-my-new-birddogs-pants-and-why-you-should-never-buy-them-hee-hee-by-ed-mountaineer</guid><description><![CDATA[    Imagine these are Birddogs.   &#8203;When I first started seeing the ads for&nbsp;Birddogs&nbsp;pants, I was like, no way are these pants that great.

But I really respected that they had mentally challenged actors in all their ads so I thought I&rsquo;d give them a try. When the pants arrived, I was a little skeptical they would live up to all the hype, but I put them on anyway.&nbsp;</font><br /><font size="4">&nbsp;</font><br /><font size="4">They slipped on as if I wasn&rsquo;t even trying to wear them and I&rsquo;ve had them on ever since. Instead of telling you why I like them, I thought I&rsquo;d do the whole reverse thing where I tell you how much I hate them so you&rsquo;ll be like, &ldquo;What? He&rsquo;s saying a bunch of good things about these pants. He doesn&rsquo;t hate them at all. This is all just a fucking joke or something.&rdquo;&nbsp;</font><br /><font size="4">&nbsp;</font><br /><font size="4">Anyway, here&rsquo;s why I HATE my new Birddogs and why you shouldn&rsquo;t buy them if you HATE the stuff I&rsquo;m going to list below.&nbsp;</font><br /><font size="4">&nbsp;</font><br /><font size="4">&nbsp;</font><br /><strong><font size="6">Why I HATE my new Birddogs pants:</font></strong><br /><br /><font size="4">1. They fit too well! If you hate pants that fit you perfectly, you&rsquo;re going to HATE these.</font><font size="4"> &nbsp;</font><br /><br /><font size="4">2.&nbsp;They make me look too good to women. I mean, I HATE that! Usually, women are nice to me because they think I live in a group home and sex is like a charity thing. Now I have to take them to dinner like I have a job.&nbsp;</font><font size="4"> &nbsp;</font><br /><br /><font size="4">3.&nbsp;They make my dick look bigger! I HATE that. People on the bus are all like, &ldquo;Dude, you have a full-on raging boner.&rdquo; And I&rsquo;m like, &ldquo;Nope, that&rsquo;s just my new Birddogs pants.&rdquo; Then I sit down next to them.&nbsp;</font><font size="4"> &nbsp;</font><br /><br /><font size="4">4.&nbsp;My new Birddogs pants tell me to do things that are super risky, where I get hurt sometimes. Like they&rsquo;ll tell me to run into that intersection or try to strangle that dog over there.</font><font size="4"> &nbsp;</font><br /><br /><font size="4">5.&nbsp;They get me compliments! I&rsquo;m SHY. I don&rsquo;t like it when random people approach me and say, &ldquo;Wow those pants look AWESOME on you.&rdquo; And then they ask me what they look like when I take them off and put them on the floor of their apartment that&rsquo;s just around the corner where they make the BEST margarita ever and I&rsquo;ve gotta try it.</font><font size="4"> &nbsp;</font><br /><br /><font size="4">6.&nbsp;My Birddogs get me out of traffic tickets! I&rsquo;m the kind of person if where I do something wrong, I want to pay the price&mdash;not use my magic pants to escape people who try to give me tickets for threatening prostitutes. If I messed up, I messed up.</font><font size="4"> &nbsp;</font><br /><br /><font size="4">7.&nbsp;When I put my new pants on, I feel like they&rsquo;re alive and don&rsquo;t want to come off me&mdash;ever. That&rsquo;s a really fucked up feeling. I&rsquo;ve been wearing these pants for seven weeks.</font><font size="4"> &nbsp;</font><br /><br /><font size="4">8.&nbsp;If you love going to the dry cleaner, you&rsquo;ll HATE these pants, because you can just throw them in your washing machine at home&mdash;if the demon who possesses the pants ever lets you take them off, which he won&rsquo;t, because that&rsquo;s his thing.&nbsp;</font><font size="4"> &nbsp;</font><br /><br /><font size="4">9.&nbsp;I don&rsquo;t like it when hot older women approach me and ask for my phone number. Mostly because ever since I started wearing these pants, these ladies appear to come through a portal and they&rsquo;re from different time periods&mdash;like where they don&rsquo;t speak our language and they want me to come back with them because I&rsquo;m pretty sure it&rsquo;s a human sacrifice thing and I made up the part about them wanting my phone number because they clearly have no idea what a phone is.</font><font size="4"> &nbsp;</font><br /><br /><font size="4">10.&nbsp;I feel like the pants aren&rsquo;t really pants. And then I look down and notice I&rsquo;m in the park and I&rsquo;m not wearing them. At first I&rsquo;m like why does the crotch area of these pants look like my nutsack, and then I&rsquo;m like, wait, that is my nutsack.<br /><br />&nbsp;</font><font size="4"> &nbsp;<br />&nbsp;<br /><em>Ed Mountaineer likes Taco Bell and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.intergalacticbiz.com/business/worst-resume-ever-we-post-ed-mountaineers">funnel cakes</a>.
