Unless they really think people are that dumb.
I'm betting the latter. And Mythbusters did an episode last year on how circumstances surrounding a person impact how desirable they appear to others, so I also know where the ad agency came up with the commercial idea.

If they were trying to be cute or funny, Chevy still missed the mark by a mile.
