If he's wearing headphones, then why aren't they listening to ANOTHER CD?

Booze-fueled paragon of pointless cruelty and wanton sadism.

Shania is a country singer right? So they could just be listening to a country radio station. I suspect that the truck image in this case is tied to country music in general, but not the homoerotic kind of country.

I dunno. I think it's just a poorly crafted commercial.

He's not. That's the thing. Very odd.

May be that stuff was unscripted and we missed what happened before the commercial.

Anyway, how bout Garnier Fructis one where there's a 'British?' schoolgirl who looks in the window before the commercial ends. She looks like a videogame character, doesn't she? But which one?

people who listen to country music will suffer through a song (or two. or more) rather than change the station (and admit to it not being the best form of entertainment there is)

{even OT fans will grimace through a prequel, but that's not the point here

}

so the guys listening to Shania are just waiting for the next song. the one guy who likes it, he's the butt of the joke as his buds suffer silently. not sure what the point of the ad was, but if someone had switched the radio off, or threw him out at a sand dune there'd have been more punch. But they'd just as soon sell a truck to his demo as anyone else's so that's not going to happen.

As for country music; I had to listen to it while on the job once. One day someone tried to change the channel, there was a physical outburst at the switch, followed by written reports. sheesh.

I used to use country music LOUD for my alarm clock. (no way I'd want to listen to that intentionally, right?) A local radio station has a "ninth caller" promotion, where the winner is always asked "how do you spell country?" and the response is "W-Z-Z-K." I always wanted to win, so I could tell the world: "how do you spell country?" (in thick drawl:) "With a 'K!' W-Z-Z-K!"
