Tempting Fate/Advertising

Examples of Tempting Fate in Advertising include:

• "I'm pleased to say I've been error free for over a week."
• In this commercial, Vince the Crash Test Dummy is happy to be testing cars with air bags, oblivious to Larry trying to tell him that this test is for side collisions. The point of the commercial, of course, is that an air bag can offer added safety but is not designed to replace a seat belt.
