Volvo "Fit for an aria" commercial
OK, I can't stand it anymore and must say this somewhere.
Volvo is running an ad for their "fit for an aria" autos. There is a pretty soprano singing nicely.
The problem is that the aria is from Mozart's The Magic Flute. The character is the Queen of the Night - not a nice person. She is demanding her daughter commit murder or be disowned. So, do the folks at the Volvo ad agency not know the source of the aria or are they assuming the rest of us do not?
