Yeah, suicide is hilarious until it happens to someone close to you. If Toyota was behind this ad, for that reason alone I am very, very hesitant to buy one ever.
It's obviously not a Toyota advertisement. The most obvious thing missing was a shot of the dashboard clock showing the passage of time. Just how long was he in the car? But at first, I thought it might be a Geico "Cave Man" commercial. I have known two people who committed suicide. It's a terrible thing; not funny at all. The person who commits it leaves his loved ones with as much or more sadness and pain than he himself had. It's hard for those remaining to move on; many cannot. And it's impossible for them to understand. That said, I found the video to be more of a music video and not so much a car commercial; as I said, it's not a Toyota advert. Besides, the car DOES produce emissions. Low, yes, but that engine will run when the hybrid battery drops to about 40% SOC; and that rarely takes more than 5-10 minutes even with the air conditioning turned off. And no gas engine will run without producing SOME noxious poisonous fumes. Just sayin'.
"But at first, I thought it might be a Geico “Cave Man” commercial." Exactly. sorry to say i do not like the caveman and almost did not watch the video. Glad i did.
