FedEx is having a little fun at metal’s expense in a new ad that’s making the internet rounds. A manager or label guy is pissed off at a metal band he’s trying to sell as the “most dangerous band in the world.” The reason? A picture of them was taken in an airport with golf clubs. “We love golf,” a masked member of the band replies. Given that golf is a pasttime for the likes of Alice Cooper and Iron Maiden, it’s not too far from the truth. And hey, the ad is well executed and pretty funny.
