I guess the ad killed itself. If this is the ad where the guy's wearing the sign that says "The End is Near", then someone in a VW drives by and shouts "3 models for under $17000" or something, than it's ridiculous. I never associated that with suicide. If that ain't the commercial, than I don't know which one they're talking about.

I thought it was funny. Even my non-car loving roommates thought it was funny.

On another note, the anit-suicide people need to lighen up and realize that 99.999***37; of america find the commercial hilariously funny, while the twenty or so people in the US who look for suicide in ads because they fear that the mentally insane will follow the ad... Goddamn america has become a pu**y nation. |

Pretty soon you will only be able to show a video of the car parked (can't show it driving around generating all those greenhouse gases) with a tag line that says, "Please buy this car".

People who would kill themselves after watching commericals aren't needed by the society anyway.

you should change car to vehicle as you wouldn't want SUV activists to be offended

I agree, if you would kill yourself because of a commercial then were better off without you. We can't be baby sitting everyone and holding their hand, the rest of us are trying to enjoy tv! |
