Toyota RAV4 Advertisement

I hate the RAV4 advertisement - secretly, I'm glad I don't have to watch it anymore on TV. Everytime it came on it made me want to change the channel - it certainly made me less likely to buy a Toyota than if I hadn't seen the ad in the first place.

While I hate the ad, I realise that the advertisement is merely fantasy and humour, and don't think it should be banned. So I'm glad Anti-PC Sheriff Wayne Mapp has called for the Advertising Standards Board to get a sense of humour.

Far worse violence appears in the average Roadrunner or Daffy Duck cartoon, and no-one raises a peep of protest.

  • I thought the ad was a laugh, although like all ads it was just annoying after the first ten times.

    It was stupid to ban it. Anyone could see it was fantasy. I saw Wayne Mapp on Campbell Live, the man has was painful to watch. National could do with a better anti-PC watchdog than him.

  • I'm not keen on the ad. It makes me feel sick watching it. It may not be truly harmful to society but it certainly made be nauseas.

    I didn't find it funny either.

    Possibly it helps them sell two cars at once though?
