BMW is framing this as a "one-time movie partnership"

What kind of people do you think are eating that up?

"Guys, it's just this one-time ad, we had no intention of ever doing this again! Just forget about it for a year or so!"

I hope people take that as a contract and when they inevitably do it again, sue the hell out of them.

Not that it'll stop this phenomenon.

Get organised folks, join your local socialist orgs (provided they are sane and not Stalinists and don't think China is socialist).
