I doubt anyone is going to misunderstand what they are getting with this van.

Would it be 10% clearer if he typed Sportsmobile-Like each time instead? Sure. Maybe we should change the forum to Sportsmobile-LikeForum.com

More over, would we have ever seen the ad if he didn't include Sportsmobile as part of the ad?

This is sort of like arguing about Duck Dynasty or Mylie(sp?) Cyrus, but my 2 cents goes like this: My "Sportsmobile" has nothing left from Sportsmobile except the top and some stickers... and the top is under scrutiny, currently. However, if I were to advertise it, I would use "Sportsmobile as a keyword as Jage said, not "Rayshellmobile", or "twogonemobile". I don't think the advertisment carries any false claims about origins, just looking for the advertising niche. Y'all find something else to bitch about

"The thing is the guy is using it as a keyword" (Jage)

Keywords usually trail an ad posting, this one was in the ad title.
So you click on the ad due to what's in the posting title and find it is something else entirely....

Just sayin, it still a bit of a misrep in my mind.

And Yeah, it's fun being curious when you have all night to scroll thru poorly written ads,
But I for one am tired of opening up ads that are not what they represent themselves to be.

But yer right, enough of this , and on to the next victim (hee, hee).
