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

[QUOTE=mr apple;49361321] Of course I don't think that, the hell is your problem dude? You can't honestly tell me though that the past years have slowly becoming more and more and more politically correct. Everyone just gets offended over every little thing that doesn't fit inside their safe space.[/QUOTE] I wasn't aware that expressing a belief to a company or friends on facebook in a calm manner, saying only that they think a television advertisement was in poor taste, equivalates to "being offended over every little thing" or anything to do with safe spaces. You're just upset that other people are vegetarians/vegans, because you can't handle the idea that someone else made a moral choice that challenges your own. You're well in your right to think that they're wrong, but just brushing it all off with buzzwords and applying no original critical thought is just whining. In other words, you're worse than those you're complaining about.

But you're obviously just assuming my tone through plain text. I couldn't really give a fuck to be honest. An ad on TV or not makes no difference to me at all, I don't even watch TV that has ad breaks anymore. I draw the line at caring for other peoples pettiness at being offended when it's something so stupid and irrelevant. Like oh no, there's an ad on TV where some CGI animals get hurt, oh fuck my entire week is ruined. Simple solution; turn the goddamn TV off That may make me an asshole, sure. But at the end of the day, I'd rather be someone who doesn't give a fuck than be someone with a tightened but hole, pinching space time so, so tight. That it puts a neutron star to shame.

Who said anyone's entire week was ruined? They gave feedback on facebook to a company. You're the one putting up a tantrum.

This is a horrible ad. As in poorly made. The concept didnt offend me. It just was a bad concept, period.

I found it kind of funny, actually. It sucks were heading to a place where everyone is becoming hyper-sensitive.

I liked the ad, but then again i'm the dictionary definition of a ghoul
