 　　Topic 1-Audi commercial lambasted for comparing women to used cars

　　China's social media bristled1 this week at an Audi commercial that likened women to used cars. The commercial, featuring a middle-aged2 woman grabbing her daughter-in-law-to-be by the nose and chin to inspect whether she has had cosmetic3 surgery, was criticized for being sexist.
　　Is sexism so rampant4 that commercial makers5 are nonchalant about it? What makes a good, memorable6 commercial?
　　RoundTable's Happy Place
