Collaboration 2 - TRINIADCRITIC & The Word Korner

We looked at a Mercedes-AMG G  ad
The car will be on the market in Spring 2015. 
It is described as the world's next great sports car and is bragged about for its design and dynamics.

Mercedes AMG used a poem for the voice over of the ad.

Here is the poem they used...

Oh the message it will send
The debates it will end
The records it will destroy
The fame it will enjoy
The thrones it will vacate
The egos it will deflate
The best machine will win
So let the fun begin

As we discussed in my earlier posts there are different types of poetry and this ad used the basic rhyming poem (Sonnet). Does it get the message across? Yes.. 
I have respect for poets who can rhyme their words and  get the message across and Mercedes did just that. 

Would you think of something like poetry to be the voice over for a sports car? Not really her but its impactful...

for me the most powerful line in the poem is “all the ego’s we will deflate, the best machine will win

So let the fun begin” Mercedes referring to the  one of it's biggest competitors the Porsche 911. 

(you see I did my research, lol) 

Here is what TRINIADCRITIC had to say about the Ad 

First thing first, what is this poem saying about the car?
"Basically this is the message being sent: This car is going to send a message so clear it will end any arguments out there about whether or not it is the best. As a car that’s built for speed one can expect it to break records and enjoy the fame that would come along with it" - TRINIADCRITIC blogger
