Sooo...What's a Trunk scoop do?

I dropped off my mom today and parked near this Camry. As soon as she got out she said, "Look its just like your car!" while pointing at the Trunk...

So hood scoops are for cooling our intercooler.

Roof scoops are for Rally drivers to get air into the car to breathe.

And a Trunk scoop is obviously for the purpose your trunk monkey doesn't die from suffocation right?

edited due to my stoopidity

-its there to cover the third brake light when unplugging it is not an option OR...
-its there to help the air inside the car be pushed out through the rear causing an extreme amount of down force.

It had a bunch of scoops also for the rear fender but I didn't bother taking a pic of it cause that trunk was hilarious enough as is.

well the scoop is facing backwards so obviously it feeds to your intercooler when you're going in reverse

That's for the rear mounted twin engine v6 AMR camrys, I hear they run 5's in the qtr mile, eat small children, club baby seals, and crap the remains out of that vent!!! You can tell it's pure evil just by the modified toyota sombrero man emblem with devil horns.
