Actually, there was a spoof of that GAP ad in one of the actual Super Bowl ads, in a spot for Oldsmobile, IIRC.
It started with your typical group of trendily dressed, slacker types standing around, singing the song 'Cars' (don't know if that's the correct title, I'm not up on my '80s music, sorry), and singing quite poorly, I might add. Eventually, an Oldsmobile Aurora careens onto the screen, and the vaguely strung-out looking teens all have to run out of the way, or something like that. The tag line explains how Oldsmobile is doing things differently, or some such marketing drivel.
It looks like it's time for GAP to come up with a new add campaign.
I saw this one the other night on a commercial for Saturn automobiles. The ad features testimony from a Saturn owner who was involved in an accident with a truck, but 'thanks to the superior safety features of his Saturn', he was able to walk away unscathed.
Meanwhile, the Saturn legal department added this disclaimer in the corner of the screen:
