Kingston Nissan has the best (and/or worst) ad!

Aaron Foley of Michigan Live ranked the "five best (or worst) Cash for Clunkers TV ads" last week. Kingston Nissan came in third place.

What's going on here? No, really, Kingston Nissan, what's going on here? The Kingston, N.Y., dealer has this ad with a bunch of guys sitting around playing with their phones until one of them suggests going to happy hour. Segue to an overhead shot of a car lot and a voiceover describing Cash for Clunkers. But the real question is, is it good advertising to mention going to happy hour when you're in the business of getting customers to drive?
