Vespa pulls off sensational PR coup

Check this photo out. Rollerblading AND basketball in the same shot. If only there was someone breakdancing in it it'd be the perfect moronic "lifestyle" scenario.

Vespa PR photo avalanche warning

This means we have acquired the passwords to the Vespa PR library, by the way. An apocalyptic update featuring about 50 fashionable young Europeans on/near garish mopeds will follow shortly. This is just the teaser trailer.

An everyday scene of rollerblading, basketball and breakdancing

That's better. Could also do with a few women sitting on a sofa taking photos of each other on their practically unusable touch screen iPhone knock-offs.

Where is this girls helmet? A bad example for kids

I want a scooter at the moment, and that one has nice wheels. I like nice wheels.

Is it a 50cc or 125cc, though? Does it come with the rollerblades, and the girl? I need the info!

Why isn't she wearing a hoodie? Why doesn't she have an 'L' plate? Why isn't she sticking two fingers up and spitting...?

This photo is not representative of moped riders in my neighborhood. Vespa clearly don't know their target market very well.

She should be wearing a skirt and pink leg warmers. Rollerblading / rollerskate porn ROCKS.

The guy in the gray shirt looks like he might actually miss from that distance. I've been playing for all of six months and I already look like LeBron James compared to that guy.

This would have been a good reason to bring in the diversity crowd.

There are two balls in the pic - one the guy in grey is holding, and another between that and the hoop. It looks like a medicine ball, or some sort of evil alien torture robot from a Benjy the dog movie.

Are any of the other Vespa PR pics actually veiled investigations into the paranormal?

I'd like to see a Motorola pic about that.

Hei Idiot, next time use Layer/Matting/Defringe option in Photoshop - will make this montage more natural. Working with levels and saturation will make it 100% convincing in less than 2 mins :)

I tried to think of something clever all day but ultimately I just want to take her anal cherry. Preferably while the vespa is vibrating beneath us.

I know, I know. I'll get my cockring...

A close examination of the basketball contest in the background reveals that the prettyboy in the hat is about to get smashed in the face by that medicine ball thing.

It'll surely be his last modeling gig to include his soon-to-be-ugly face. It's sneakers ads from here on out, boyo.

Do they count as stabilisers?

Strange how nobody mentionned this is NOT a Vespa, but rather a Gilera scooter, so Idiot's premise sounds bogus...

Note: I know nothing about scooters, it is written in the picture!

Can we ban these things please? The ad makes it all look quite appealing but in my experience scooters are used exclusively by scum in dirty tracksuits, wearing their helmets only on the very tops of their heads so they can still wear their caps underneath. They travel in packs of no less than 35,000 and I should very much like to burn them.

Mind you, due to their incorrect helmet use two of them have bitten it in my area in the last year.

Maybe we actually need to encourage this behaviour.
