They do have some wild looking watch ads though.

I like the super minimalist bathroom ads, since that's where it is read.

Exactly.
They had she and Mark switch seats not bothering to adjust seat from Mark and photographer stood outside window and shot picture. Photoshopped in blurry background.
Nothing wrong with staging a photo to get a better shot; however, they shouldn’t be such lazy priggs to not bother moving seat into a real driving position.

Applause.

"Clothing style magazine"??

A simple t-shirt and a hoodie sweatshirt? No offense but you need to look up "style" and "clothing"

Just for you, I went ahead and looked up "style" and "clothing" like you had recommended. Right in the top Google hits were two pictures of male models wearing that "simple t-shirt" you mentioned while you were completely missing the point of my post, but no offense of course....

His T-shirt costs about $200. Her hoodie is the latest von Zuckerberg Designer Edition. If you have to ask you can't afford it (or its wearer).

It costs a lot to look like you can afford to not care about your clothes.

^ The story of the “Emperor’s New Clothes” come to mind.
To me high fashion is wearing a t-shirt, cargo shorts, boat shoes...and a Patek Philippe Nautilus...as I get out of my Ferrari F12.
You can keep you $1000 sweatshirts.

Yeah, I don't even unwrap mine any more. Too many clothes I don't want and watches I can't afford (and probably wouldn't wear if I could, to be honest).

In their defense, I used to get Acura's in house magazine and Lexus' (I think...??) and they were equal marketing drivel. It's all "lifestyle" related.
