Toyota pulls new Hilux ad after it was slammed on social media (by vegans) for depicting animals gla - Polidicks

[QUOTE=DJWulf;49354719]I dont see how "Go Fuck yourself you vegan bitch" is an opinion.[/QUOTE] Well it is, as fucking loony as it is. Never said I agreed with him. An opinion can be anything.

[QUOTE=Hoffa1337;49354717]All your stats are tracked so show us a screenshot of your 1 million views please. All videos I saw on your channel had 200-300 views and that's not gonna give you anything more than a few cents if even that.[/QUOTE] "711,676 views" a far cry from a million

Speaking of not knowing where the vegan part is coming into it, correct me if I'm wrong but the original article doesn't even mention vegans?

[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;49354730]now if you said loony first then yeah it makes sense only people out of their heads whats diversity in the food industry vegan meals are good anyway and so are meat meals again its just a poorly written ad i really don't see how the vegan part is coming into it[/QUOTE] I don't really agree with their argument either as far as this particular ad goes, but I can see how this is an easy platform to push one's agenda on, and they're aware of that too. It's just another grain basically. This thread is about the extent of it.

Wasn't sure if the thread was about a shitty comment the OP made or the fact that Toyota pulled their commercial. Commercial was in bad taste but i'm failing to see why the OP's comment about vegans matters fuck all.

[QUOTE=Headhumpy;49354790]Because vegans being obnoxious is an epic meme that OP tried to force to get attention.[/QUOTE] I actually updated the OP with new link. It's pretty easy to see that the majority of people that had complained about the ad are vegan.

yes how dare they express their opinions peacefully just because you disagree with them and your childish youtube shitposting rage against vegans is definitely just you being le epic trole and not a reflection upon yourself

The ad is pretty terrible to be honest.

you didn't even make this thread with an intent to distribute news, only to start a shitty argument but i have a tendency to get over involved with calling out OPs in SH so i'm done

I think from a business perspective they pulled it because it seems to be making international news websites now. More people will see the ad now than originally was to be expected.

One only has to look at the Toyota Facebook page to see who the majority of complainers were. We have become to PC nanny state.

If an ad like this came out 5 - 10 years ago, nobody would have given two fucks. Nowadays everyone chooses to be offended over the dumbest shit because their lives are so fucking boring that they have to nitpick every new thing they see.

too much work for such a terrible idea

The topic about commercial being banned turned into OPs youtube channel.shaming. Okay The commercial is silly and very long tho.

[QUOTE=The Commander;49354652]Because I love to stir the pot and get views and replies on videos for ad revenue?[/QUOTE] How is this an argument against being an asshole tho'?

Eh I'll be on their side for this one, this commercial does feel like it would be offensive to some. Not to mention it's kind of a stupid ad anyways.

I found this rather humorous :v:

-snip-

Honestly I laughed when the little wallaby dropbear creature was like "OH YEAH" Commercial's not [U]that[/U] bad...

Not offensive to me, but uncomfortably bad.

[QUOTE=The Commander;49354652]Because I love to stir the pot and get views and replies on videos for ad revenue?[/QUOTE] i didnt even need to see your facebook profile photo to know what you fucking look like lmfao

don't need to be a vegan to find this a terrible ad it's creepy and obnoxious

[QUOTE=fruxodaily;49355082]i didnt even need to see your facebook profile photo to know what you fucking look like lmfao[/QUOTE] Late... I used to use that picture as my avatar here months back.. I don't care if people know what I look like, I have nothing to hide.

[QUOTE=The Commander;49354652]Because I love to stir the pot and get views and replies on videos for ad revenue?[/QUOTE] Some people would be ashamed of their desperation. I like you: you revel in your desperation. You're not afraid to admit that you're weak. You can't create anything interesting on it's own, so you shout at people until they get the energy to figure out what the fuck your problem is. The respectable hobby - nay - the respectable job. I wonder how it feels to be in your position.

what a horrible advertisement

Heh, my new car made it to the news. I love my Hilux.

[QUOTE=The Commander;49355456]Didn't think they were in Panama, what year is it?[/QUOTE] Brand new 2015 model. They have been in Panama since forever. Hell, the driving school provided a manual 2008 Hilux for me.

[QUOTE=Novangel;49354818]The ad is pretty terrible to be honest.[/QUOTE] terrible message, hilarious nonetheless you can't fail with talking ducks
