Yet another car marketed to male losers.



(click ads) Headline: "They will see something beautiful in you." It is one of the oldest and most dubious of car marketing strategies: people will find you more attractive/fuckable in one of our sexy autos—this time, it's the not-very-sexy Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X. Creative lesson for ad agency Leo Burnett in Costa Rica: If you're going to go this (bad) executional route, you should make the men much uglier, hideously ugly. Then, guys who look like these fairly normal looking guys won't be insulted by your trite, outdated idea (images via).

OK we get it... it's a 'small penis car'.

I don't know. A couple of those guys are pretty ugly, especially after seeing the ad at full size. Yikes.

The facial expressions bring it all together.
