who? isn't it heidi klum?

the Toyota commercial pisses me off because they show the Rav4, Tundra, Camry, and I think another car twice each. Makes it look like they offer like 15 cars instead of the actual 9 or whatever it is. And the music's annoying.

man, my bro-in-law and I were trying to figure out what the hell this commercial is supposed to mean. Save by zero? Wat? Plus that damn song got stuck in our heads to the point we would randomly just start singing it.

"This is related to sports only tangentially, but anyone who has watched a single football game this year has certainly been inundated with, then grown tired of, then enraged by Toyota’s “Saved by Zero” commercial. Esquire.com’s Peter Schrager was one of the first to delve in-depth into the irritating phenomenon, and now the AP is even picking up on the widespread loathing for the ad.

There’s a lot of info in the article (with good news like we’ll be seeing it again this weekend), but I just wanted to share this one quote from Toyota marketing spokesman Joe Tetherow.

“I think the fact that it’s being talked about is good, because the message is out there,” Tetherow said. “The [car dealerships] like the program, and customers do too.”

Joe Tetherow. I’m going to remember that name. That way, if I ever meet Joe, I can crush his windpipe and smash his orbital bones until his eyes have been reduced to a useless goo.

And guess what, Toyota? I will never buy one of your cars. Ever. Because of this one ad. I now hate your company, and the only way I might ever re-consider that position is if everyone in your marketing department died in a fire at the office holiday party, leaving their families to grieve through that Christmas and remember it bitterly the rest of their lives. So tell me again, Joe, is it good people are talking about your ad?"

Toyota is slayed by zero

Quote :
"Oh yes, it's definitely the most annoying ad campaign since the never-ending Freecreditreport.com plague. Why oh why, did The Fixx lend their signature '80s hit Saved By Zero to Toyota to advertise finance rates?

The hatred of the ad campaign, which seems to appear nonstop during any sporting event on TV, is growing. The fervor on the Internet has reached top volume with blogs and Facebook.com groups all calling for its end.

Count The Fixx in with the naysayers.

Cy Curnin, the band's lead singer and co-founder, recently told The Las Vegas Sun that while he likes the royalty checks and the new attention on The Fixx, the quality of the recording itself disturbs him.

"It's a bit cheesy. I would prefer to have been the one singing it," Curnin told The Sun says during a phone interview from his farm in France. It's also ironic that the automaker chose this particular tune, Curnin says, because the song's message seems contrary to the ad's purpose.

"The song was written from the point of view of the release you get when you have nothing left to lose. It clears your head of all fears and panics and illusions and you get back to the basics, which is a Buddhist mantra, which I practiced back then, and which I still do," he said. "The idea of the song is how great it is to get back to zero."

Despite the grassroots move to get the commercial killed, Toyota says the ad campaign has been a success.

"I think the fact that it's being talked about is good, because the message is out there," Toyota marketing spokesman Joe Tetherow told the Associated Press. "The dealers like the program, and customers do too.""
