A Horrific New Animal Cruelty Commercial from Toyota
https://lauren.vortex.com/2016/09/03/a-horrific-new-animal-cruelty-commercial-from-toyota
Toyota is running a new TV spot (internally titled "Camping"). It's
already triggering letters and petitions to Toyota to remove it from
the air immediately. It's breathtakingly stupid and could easily
trigger dangerous copycats.
It features a moronic couple who throw a stick into a rapidly flowing
river so that their dog will chase after it into the water. You then
see the dog being rapidly washed away down the middle of the river.
The couple races ahead downstream in their new Toyota to meet up with
the dog who has somehow managed to survive the ordeal.
Then the woman says "My turn!" and throws the stick back into the
river to bait the dog into the rapidly flowing water yet again.
It's obviously supposed to be funny. Instead it's hideous.
Whomever green-lighted this monstrosity at Toyota and their ad agency
should be fired and never permitted to own animals of their own. What
kind of total idiots produce a commercial like this that is bound to
inspire other idiots to try the same thing?
Breathtakingly evil. Here's the video of the spot:

Please let Toyota know how you feel about this. Thanks.

The correct term is "Internet" NOT "internet" -- please don't
fall into the trap of using the latter. It's just plain wrong!
