7. Nissan Uses the Who's 'Bargain'

Product: Nissan Sentra

The Pitch: "Who doesn't love a bargain? And while we could lower the prices of our cars, I think it would be better if we raise them to acquire the rights of that Who song! 'Cause, believe you me, folks prefer a song about a bargain more than they do an actual bargain!"

Lyrics You Don't Hear: The kind of deals the words of Pete Townshend's 1971 song actually offer up are 1) renouncing your worldly possessions, 2) stabbing yourself whilst naked, and 3) drowning another man for no good reason -- all at no extra charge.

Sellout Quotient: 8/10
To think that everyone took the title of their 1967 album 'The Who Sell Out' as irony...
