I guess you'd have to wait for a sports car or a 2+2 for that...Then, they'd call it "Two-pack"

I'm sorry, I don't give a shit. And, being as though there weren't any asterisks by the name "Biggie Smalls", I can presume it's talking about what I want it to talk about.


Babaaa..BAAAABY


PS...Type in "Biggie Smalls" in any search engine and see if Google even gives a shit about your low-key (and probably wack) gangster flick.

lets be real...when this ad company chose a phrase to get the young generation's attention, you think they chose the "biggie smalls" that everybody in the young generation knows....or the "biggie smalls" an obscure refference from a movie nobody recognizes?

hmmmmmm.....

Irrelevant...the point is, I can guarantee you than when anyone makes a reference to "Biggie Smalls", they are talking about the late-great EMcee, not some obscure movie reference.


STANK you very much.

Who cares??? lmao, The biggest modern rock group Metallica stole their name from another band. WHO GIVES A SHIT?!! They're the ones who made the name famous. Nobody knows the other source, so who's gonna try to make money off it? Damn this is like basic economics LOOK:


• The Rapper named "Biggie Smalls" made the name Bigge Smalls a house-hold term, especially for people ages 30 and under - WHETHER THEY LIKE RAP OR NOT, THEY KNOW THIS NAME.

• The car in the ad is DESIGNED AND AIMED FOR THE CAR-BUYING YOUNGER DEMOGRAPHIC ages 18-30. The EXACT SAME younger demographic that already knows who "Bigge smalls" is. that's not an accident, they profit from that co-relation in your life.

• "Biggie Smalls" is also a description of the car. They do this double meaning on purpose, that's not an accident. They profit from that co-relation in your mind.


If you're still not convinced, consider this:

• Anyone who knows who the movie gangster "biggie smalls" is would be turned OFF by the Ad since....HE'S A GANGSTER!! A "bad guy". Now lets think.....what type of people would know who the movie gangster "biggie smalls" is: an extremely small percent of the population who's 40 and older.

THE EXACT DEMOGRAPHIC THIS CAR IS NOT AIMED AT!!!


c'mon man, use your head!!! wake up!!
