XM puts you in the middle of the action.
Every team. Every game. Every win. Only on XM.
In Detroit they throw octopuses on the ice during hockey games.

Terrible.
if you are not from detroit you wouldn't know what the hell was going on. And even if you were i doubt most people would get this. Plus it's kinda straight. I don't like it.
Can you please explain the ad for people like me who have no clue? Your comment is more cryptic than the ad itself.
:D
I'm not from Detroit. I knew what the hell was going on.

Free cepholopod with every purchase. Dumb!
I believe these ads were circulated in Canada (Toronto to be more specific) and with hockey being a religion up here most people will probably get it. I'm from Vancouver and being a die-hard Canucks fan I got this right away. That's not to say that I like this campaign though :/
Go Capitals!

"XM puts you in the middle of the action"
So I guess having XM radio in your car makes you feel like you're at the hockey game.
As for the octopus here's a snippet from wikipedia:
The "Legend of the Octopus" is a sports tradition during Detroit Red Wings home playoff games, in which an octopus is thrown onto the ice surface for good luck.
The 1952 playoffs featured the start of the tradition—the octopus throw. The owner of a local fish market, Peter Cusimano, threw one from the stands onto the ice. The eight legs were purportedly symbolic of the eight wins it took to win the Stanley Cup at the time.
thanks for the tip, Pogi5. Come to think about this, it's stupid they are advertising satellite radio (which, theoretically you can receive anywhere) with local insight.
And the hell is with the clouds behind? is this car flying but thinking it's a submarine?!
