I was watching fox too.  The commercial's end disturbed me a bit:

DETROIT TECHNO
FORD FOCUS (or whatever)

Not to go all Roland Barthes on you but the commercial pretty transparently
tries to take the sign 'DETROIT TECHNO' and assign a new meaning to it, namely
a FORD Automobile.

It was another example as well of a commercial with an 'in' joke.  The
association of the car with Detroit Techno at the end only works, or works
best, if you know that it's a Juan Atkins track.  Otherwise, it's just another
anonymous dance track.

BTW Any show where people beat the crap out of clowns is great in my book
