Crucial Track šµ May 18, 2026: john.philpin.com
@JohnPhilpin I see what you did there (shaking that ass). Couldnāt tell you what car it was advertising, though.
@devilgate Turns out that:
āThe vehicle is a 2017 Nissan Armada SUV, unveiled at the 2016 Chicago Auto Show.ā
@JohnPhilpin I meant the ass-shaking one that was advertised with the Groove Armada track. Which turns out to be the Renault Megane.
@JohnPhilpin My memory! And searching. It was used in a TV ad in the UK maybe ten, fifteen years back, focusing on the shapely rear end of the car. āI see you baby, shaking that assā!
YouTube link. Also people complained, according to The Guardian.
Which canāt possibly be right, because it says it was 23 years ago. I remember my daughter singing along with it, and she wasnāt doing that when she was 2!
I guess maybe they revived it? Anyway, thatās what I was talking about, so Iām playing <cite>Vertigo</cite> now.
@devilgate wipes brow ā¦ I thought my cryptic posts had finally caught up on me .. donāt recall the story at all .. but boy people took complaints seriously āback thenā
> The television watchdog has slapped a permanent ban on a car advertisement being aired before 7.30pm after 139 viewers complained about wiggling bottoms and the word āassā being used in the ad.
