Hopefully Toyota Challengese the F_uckwits and win!!!

Honestly....I'm at a loss for words. Some people must have nothing to do with their bloody time other than complain.

Ultimately I believe its a crap ad; acting is poor and it just looks dumb. I got what they were trying to achieve the first time I saw it, so don't label me a prude; I just think the overall quality is not Saatchi's best work.

But overall, its obviously worked, people sat up and noticed, and now with publicity like the "Stuff" article; well, thats advertising money can't buy.

^^^ I actually LOL'd the first time I saw the add. Got the point across. Thought it was original and very well done. Acting might have been poor but it was supposed to be exagerated....

They already did, ever notice that that add was very short lived. Asa got there claws into that one as well because another handfull of people complained. Now the people who do the decision making on adds like this are supposed to be 5 normal people and 4 people who work in the industry (advertising). Whats the bet that none of those 4 people work at satchi and one of the 5 normal people is a bit to pc for anyones good and bang there's your majority to get it off tv. At least satchi is appealing the decision
