I think your point may be true. I mean, what other reason would there possibly be? Someone please tell me? I can understand why they would create virtually every other ridiculous theme in that absurd ad, well, the black and white tangled snakes is creepy too, but someone please explain to me the riot police?

I couldn't care less about some crazy conspiracy, I want to know what is "slick" about Riot Police in Riot Gear? How does that make you, Oleg Bach want to buy a Lexus?

Then how the hell can you comment on it? Thanks for wasting my time with your laziness.

I had to watch it twice before I noticed riot police, which was a scene that flashed on the screen for a second....I guess you could also say, why is it followed by a shark?

It just looked like a Lady Gaga inspired commercial, nothing more.

Except for the riot police that you mentioned, correct? Why would riot police make you, urbanlife78, wanna buy a Lexus?

A Lexus is an overpriced Toyota, so I wouldn't buy one to begin with. The video it self is a designer made video. Why are their black and white snakes on the car, does snakes make you want to buy a Lexus? It is the same thing, there are plenty of random things in the video, none of it really matters....though technically it does matter because I am talking about it and that is the point of advertising.

I find the snakes odd too, but I can see how they could tie into the other ridiculous black and white images as they are hip and trendy, I guess. Do you think riot police in riot gear are hip and trendy? Does anyone?

Representative of the four-level interchange in Los Angeles.

The ad also shows the docks in L.A. Harbor, the Wilmington refinery and the 405 freeway. And a bald eagle. All signs of capitalism. But I highly doubt the people who are looking for the Illuminiti and worried about commies under the bed care. Brilliant ad. Beautifully photographed.

Anyone who doesn't like it (or understand it) is welcome to search for Little House on the Prairie reruns on cable.

That is what I took from the commercial, I don't see the point in dwelling on an image that was on the screen for a second. I am sure the only one who can answer the question the OP is asking would be the director of the commercial.

It must be hard being so much smarter, hipper and enlightened than us ignorant rubes. Oh yeah, I bet you look like a model too?

P.S. It looks like a bad Lady Gaga video; although that is redundant.

I notice you comletely ifnored the riot police in riot gear; y'know, the thread topic?
