That is really ironic. The whole pretext of the Ad-Concept was that these days one does in indeed need to be "ultra-politically correct". This Ad that sort of attempted to use humor to poke by coming up with a group that it did not believe anyone living today would actually object to.
ReplyDeleteIf I am to accept this as an answer from an expert, as opposed to the more reasonable explanation that the Ad campaign just got stale, old, boring and mundane, then I really am beginning to wonder about the average members of todays society.
So my follow question is this:
I suppose one great benefit of cave living in the summer months would be that you might save a lot on your air conditioning or electric bill during the summer.
Do the cavemen of today have television?
