Honda has a Happy Honda Days ad campaign where Michael Bolton shows up inside cars and tortures Honda customers with his awful singing and "I'm too sexy" demeanor. And this reminded me of a safety feature Volvo once advertised: a key fob that can detect a heartbeat inside your car just in case someone is waiting inside your car to kill you, like perhaps Michael Bolton, with a vicious intent to torture you to death with crappy pop songs. And then it struck me that this Michael Bolton threat would make a great ad for how important that Volvo heartbeat detection safety feature is. (I think they only advertised this feature here once, but it was deemed a scare tactic. But now with this Michael Bolton threat, we see how desperately needed this feature really is!)
Here's how this Volvo safety feature spot would work:
We see a couple get into a Honda, and then Michael Bolton appears from the back seat and starts singing, causing the couple to cover their ears in pain and horror and, failing to stop the unbearable torture, drive into oncoming traffic, killing themselves and scores of other innocent motorists. Then the announcer says that there is a new deadly threat to motorists: that of Michael Bolton waiting in cars and popping out to start singing, causing drivers to commit suicide. But now, with the Volvo safety feature of the heartbeat monitor, you can tell if Michael Bolton is hiding in your car and call police, who will see the fate worse than death awaiting you inside the car and arrest the foul fiend.
