Picture this: I'm watching an ad for one of those 4-wheel off-road buggy type thingies. The ad shows it gaily zipping around in a variety of - big surprise - off-road environments. Careening around trees through forests, flying over dunes in deserts, steeply climbing huge rocks - the kind of exciting stuff, we presume, you would buy such a vehicle for.
Towards the end of said commercial, as the announcer is intoning the manly nature of the product - speed, power, stability - and as the viewer is getting really pumped up about this fine, fun, safe machine, across the screen appear the words:
"Do not attempt these maneuvers."
So, they're saying "buy this machine, but don't you dare do any of the exciting things we showed it doing." Good luck with that.
