One of the Ferrari Driving School's free benefits to its students sounds like something rather unsettling

I was watching the ESPN NCAA tournament selection show last night when a commercial for the Ferrari Driving School played during one of the breaks. It's one of those unintentionally awful local TV commercials, complete with grainy 1970s-esque images, cheesy elevator background music, trying-way-too-hard voice-over work, and business owners who star in the commercial who seem as if they stepped right off the set of a Coen brothers movie.

The Ferrari Driving School is run by Michaelangelo Pinto (Best. Name. Ever.) and a man I'm assuming is his father, Dominic Pinto. It's old man Dominic who, near the end of the first commercial in this set, which happens to be the one that I saw on ESPN last night, makes note of one of Ferrari's awesome free benefits to its students. The problem is that Dominic's English is so broken that it sounded to me like he was offering something else, something not near as benign as what he is actually trying to convey. See if you can catch it, because there's a distinct possibility that my sick fuck ears hear things in ways that are different from the way that other more normal people do...



Now, am I the only one who misinterpreted "free pick-up service" for "creepy cock service?" Seriously, I lost my shit and almost fell out of my chair when I heard that! I had to rewind it 4 or 5 times to get what he was actually trying to say. Surely I'm not the only one!

CB it totally sounds like creepy cock service! So incredibly random, I've actually done business with him - they used the software I sell for a while and actually owe us money.

Nope, I hear it too! Although I have a pretty sad case of "sick fuck ears" myself.

Don't worry we are making new commercials soon w/ less "used car salesman" tactics.. :)

Not sure who the software person is that we "owe $" but you can surely call me about it..

Take care guys..
