This is most interesting. Er... It's not for real, right?

I'm fooled if it's fake. A convincing advertisement.

 

[PanterroR]

Funny and interesting at the same time...

Very cool i like it! They should do it for real.

LOL..what a dumb thing.. who wants a wiper hanging around on thier bonnet..next to the badge..it just ruins the image..

 

[Giannis]

i want a wiper hanging around ont the bonnet, but mine will be invissible

Funny!

But I bet Mercedes will come up with a better, simpler and more elegant version using popup water jets instead, and a badge version of Airscarf to dry it

And I thought hard water refers to chemical hardness, not physically in any way - it shouldn't scratch the badge any more or less than 'soft' water.

I felt a little inspired by that... and started thinking a little (I know, it's something I don't do much these days) ..but yeh, here's my idea:

After remembering that the Spirit of Ecstacy 'badge' on the RR Phantom can detract into the grille, and also the fact that the BMW badges on the 6er and f/l 7er can flip open to open the boot..i kinda mixed both ideas.

How about if the BMW badge on the hood of the car mechanically flips or rotates so that the badge is facing to the engine, and then a small water-jet situated inside the insulation of the hood just sprays water on the badge.
Once that's done, the badge just flips back upwards.

What do you guys think ?? ..and oh.. that's copyright too..!!

Y'know, if the actual idea was sound in the first place and not a joke, then that'd be the best way to do it, IMO. There's complexity in it, but not more than getting a separate washer jet. So I'd pay this one

I think it was a JOKE

 

[Snake Vargas]

Yeah, but when they want to satirise someone by making a 'real' ad for a silly product, then making factual errors doesn't make the satire very believable..
