Automotive Commercials often show their cars driving through
the downtown business districts of large cities while the streets are devoid of
other cars.
You have probably never thought much about this happening
but I notice it every time I watch an Automotive Commercial because I am a Highly
Trained Mediocre Automotive Retiree.
The Coronavirus is going to make the filming of Automotive
Commercials Easier and Less Expensive…
Ø To
film a Commercial the Automotive Companies have found it necessary to pay for extended periods of time to
have the entire Commercial Film Crew waiting on side streets for the main
streets to be empty of cars.
Ø Usually
they have to stay there waiting for weeks before the Main Street becomes empty and,
when it does, they have to run out of the side street and set up all their
equipment and film the commercial before cars start appearing again.
Ø More
often than not, they get up to the very end of the commercial only to see the
whole thing ruined by a vehicle that drove into the middle of all of what they
were doing.
Ø One
time I saw a bunch of clowns appear. They were the beginning of the Barnum and
Bailey Circus Parade.
In life we should appreciate the positive things that come
our way while they are coming our way. Appreciate this…
Now all of this Time, Money and Effort will not be wasted
because the Coronavirus has made all of the Downtown Streets in the Good Ole
USofA empty and available for the filming of Automotive Commercials.

Several years ago there was a technique used in Automotive
Commercials that really confused me. The cars were shown Sliding Sideways on
Ice Covered Lakes. I never understood why a person would be tempted to get rid
of their perfectly good car that was very practiced at driving straight down a
road and replace it with a car that Slid Sideways on a Frozen Lake.
This lack of understanding of the ever evolving Automotive
Industry was probably why the Automotive Gods whispered into my confused ears, “Fella, maybe you ought to retire”.

Another interesting thing (probably only interesting to
Fella) about Automotive Commercials is the fact that many of them are now being
filmed with the Cars Being Driven on Bridges.
Have you noticed that, for about the last year or so, many
Automotive Commercials are being filmed with the cars driving on bridges? If
you have not noticed, you will now start noticing because I have just brought
it to your attention.
However, there is a Coronavirus Problem obstructing the
filming of Automotive Commercials on Bridges. Many of our bridges coming out of
our Big Cities are too crowded to allow for Automotive Commercial Filming. This
is especially true of the bridges leading out of New York City.
