Only for the priveliged few, I'm sure the suits at DeVito/Verdi will get their hands on a box or two.
Elitist crap.
I don't care if this good or not.

Because you can't afford the product? I think the copy here is genius; plays to their demographic insanely well.

They're trying to set a tone with the copy. But it needed to be worked harder. Headline looks like it was copy and pasted from the brief.

Despite the fact that it's a headline ad, it's a pretty good ad overall. I'd rather have a good headline ad than an all visual ad that no one gets.
