So last week I showed you this Kia teaser featuring Adriana Lima waving a flag and expressed my fears that it was going to be one of "those" car commercials, while holding out hope that Kia would surprise me with a twist. Well, there was a twist, but did it make for a good commercial? Here's the complete ad, which does indeed star Adriana Lima, as well as Motley Crue, and a duo of lumberjacks chopping a very large sandwich. Let's take a look.
So - is it a commercial about a... Read Full Story

Still trying to pare down your household budget? Here’s an option you might not have considered—doing more of the regular maintenance on your car.
The idea can be a little intimidating—even scary—for some. The website, womens-finance.com, reports that one-third of women have some sort of “car-phobia” when it comes to servicing their cars.
You’ve learned DIY for your home, so why not for your vehicle? We’re not talking about a brake relining, but simple things that not only can cut your... Read Full Story

One a recent trip to San Diego I was greeted by a magical vision of wavy mountain tops peeking up over the clouds as I coasted to land in my big metal bird. As we began our descent into the city, the clouds gave way to window views of ocean-side, metro scape, harbor and then a glorious touch down on the airport’s runway.
After making my way off the jet, and down to baggage claim I was met by a black luxury chauffeured sedan and whisked to the Four Diamond award winning resort the... Read Full Story

Happy Friday, Ask Patty Nation! Today we conclude our week of Super Bowl ads and teasers with a whole slew of videos. Many many companies are releasing their full Super Bowl ads early, and some of them are in this batch, so be fairly warned if you'd rather see them "fresh" during the game. I was going to make it a dog video trifecta, but the "Confident You" spot from Cars.com was too entertaining to skip. After that, we'll see a pair of spots by Subaru from their "Dog Tested and Approved... Read Full Story

Wow, it's Thursday already. The week is just flying by. Today's Super Bowl ad teaser is - actually not a teaser, I think, because it certainly seems like the complete ad. So if you want to see it for the first time on Sunday during the game, you are fairly warned to turn back now.
Still here? Good. So this is an Audi ad. Last year's "Goodnight Moon" inspired ad was all well and good (and has been running again on TV this week, in anticipation of the launch of this new one, I'm sure... Read Full Story

As the Ask Patty coverage of Super Bowl ad teasers continues, today we take a look at the new teaser (in every sense of the word) from Kia. Now - as a disclaimer, Kia's ads of late have been some of the most memorable and well done ones. I've featured their now famous hamsters on the blog before, and applauded them for making memorable commercials that appeal to females and males alike, and resisted the urge to be provocative and sexist (see Fiat's J-LO ad for reference).
Now, Kia, I'm... Read Full Story
