So, I just finished watching the local 5.00PM news. As usual, it was full of ads for local car dealerships. As usual, they were all dreadful. Lots of cars. Lots of Employee discounts. Lots of zero percent financing. Lots of no payments ‘til next year. Lots of “Inventory Clearance’ to make room for next years models. Lots of “Honest Larry” screaming at you to come on down. What stuns me is that I’ve lived in the US since the sixties and the car dealership ads I just watched ten minutes ago are identical to the ones I watched nearly forty years ago. Is there something in the genes of these cretins that determines they should never question the awfulness of what they do, year in and year out? 
Why would anyone in their right mind buy a car, or anything, from a duck?
And 40 years from now they'll still be sreamin' "Come on down" as Ernie Boch does in the Boston area.
