A California man climbed into his new Mercedes-Benz, saw an image of a golf course on the dashboard screen, and posted a video calling it “an ad in sheep’s clothing.” The video sparked a debate in the comments about where ads end and themes begin.
The 40-second video was recently posted by Rex (@notdashfromincredibles), whose TikTok channel mostly covers life in San Diego, pop fandom and dating. Rex films himself from the driver’s seat of his Mercedes, with a brief moment in which he overlays the animated graphic he objects to behind him.
