I'm thinking of the contact lenses one as a particularly nasty example, but I think there are others. Also the sixth element carvert works just the same as all the others - associating certain desirable things with the product. When you're stuck in a traffic jam, or ferrying children to school, it would be nicer if your car reminded you of open spaces and tumbleweed than if it didn't.

I agree the car adverts are bizarre. What about the one where a bride at the altar abandons her groom at the sound of a car horn and flees down the aisle to drive off in the car. Its not even a Ferrari. Not sure I understand your classiification system fully but what about the Happivert, this covers the travel adverts and others for complicated gizmos?
