A blogger at You’re Reading Too Much Into It noticed that this ad for the Honda Insight only includes people who can afford a Honda Insight in the idea of “everyone.”
She writes:
I make somewhere around minimum wage as a college instructor; my husband is an assistant manager at a fast food restaurant. I drive a car that’s older than my students, or rather did until it died about a year and a half ago… So now I take the bus… We feel lucky, in the current economic climate, that we have a roof over our heads and don’t have kids to support, because a lot of people have it worse than we do. I don’t know how much the 2010 Honda Insight costs, but I can assure you, it is most certainly not designed and priced for me, or for a whole hell of a lot of other people.
