Speedplay ad?
 
Anyone else think the latest Speedplay ad misses the mark? If you hadn't seen it, it's a single pedal with a flame coming off of it. Not exactly the image I want to think about in a pedal. Any other similar ads that come to mind?

Pealt Izumi's 'We Will Not Yield' campaign...I hated it.
The Flash-heavy site is down too. I guess other's didn't like it as well either.

Clearly the advertisement is not meant for you.

Doubly so as it seems you are not the type to spend $600+ on a set of pedals.

Finally, do you seriously think your pedal is going to catch on fire? Or do you not understand the imagery Speedplay was intending ("This pedal is HOT!")

Was it a new carbon fiber model?
