I get National Geographic Magazine. On the outside back cover for a few months now, there has been a car ad. Picture of an SUV out in the desert somewhere, driving down some rock hill. Almost tipping over, but looking really rugged and macho while doing it. The text is "No intelligent life out here. Just you." I know it's supposed to be a reference to Star Trek and the reader is supposed to get the feeling that if only they had this SUV they would be able to go out into the hinterlands of some exotic planet and drive down cliffs.
I read it and immediately think that it means "No intelligent life out here, including you (if you buy this SUV and drive it down rock cliffs.)" |

This is also the same company running "Where do you want to go today?" ads while the music in the background contained the lines "The damned and accursed are convicted to the flames of Hell" (in Latin). |
