Hey Church Lady, I’m a drunken pig and I don’t like your tone… stop picking on drunks with bag fat wives, will ya? Why is it always about the sloppy drunk guy… you know, I’m tired of the perpetual persecution people like me face everyday of our miserable lives!
Hey Ima’: Maybe you could turn your lunatic rant into an ad for Decaf Coffee, or some anti-psychotic medicine. Wait! I know what; how about if General Motors hired you to drive Monster Hummers and Escalades onto different Toyota dealer lots to demonstrate how they’re smashing the competition?
I rarely watch TV but caught three of the Toyota ads early last month and nearly had a stroke. For heaven’s sake, I am a Toyota owner. I wrote the Florida Department of Insurance to complain and was referred to the Attorney General. I wrote to Toyota; their basic response was: It’s a joke. I do not think it’s a funny, amusing joke even if, as some other posters have mentioned, it’s not a crime unless it’s reported as a claim. I believe it is sick for a major corporation to make the insinuation: trash your car and get a new one. A company with the resources of Toyota SURELY COULD come up with a REALLY funny commercial like my favorite Super Bowl commercial of a couple of years ago: Herding Cats. Go Idaho DOI; fie on the Florida DOI! Stamp out fraud!
I’ve seen the ads too. I don’t look at them as encouraging insurance fraud. I iamagine that all of the destroyed vehicles were fully paid for and the owners had no comp or collision on them. A person can destroy their own property ad it doesn’t constitute fraud.
If you weren’t thinking fraud why wouldn’t a person trade in the vehicle. Almost every dealer has a minimum trade. You can bet any phi beta kappa trying to pull off this stunt is going to be looking for insurance money.
“i’m a person too”, you might be the sloppiest drunk that as ever written on this page. but i like it. perhaps you should advertise for toyota aswell, we can all become womanizing drunks and eat goldfish together! woo hoo!
Having insurance people defend Toyota’s latest ad that promotes destroying your vehicle for a new one is terrible!
Some of you remind me of the time when the tobacco industry paid doctors to come out and say smoking their cigarettes helped relieve sore throats and coughs.
I will say it again, lighten up! My interpretation from this is that the new Toyota is so great, people will do anything to get their hands on it! I think it is great marketing. I seriously doubt they thought, let’s perpetuate fraud and influence idiots in America to stick it to the Insurance Industry! That is just ridiculous. I seriously doubt that Joe blow is sitting at home thinking, I can’t afford a new car, but I want one soooo badly. What can I do to get one? Oh, what will I do? (sees Toyota ad) What a great idea! Insurance fraud! Thanks, Toyota…..you’re the best. Gimme a break.
Voice of Reason….your argument seems flawed. We can obviously point out that smoking causes cancer. How easily can we say that this Toyota ad causes fraud? I guess comedy really is a dying artform.
