Weeds - Prius Reference - VERY FUNNY

I've been telling my friends this for year. Put a giant roll top on the Prius like the Aztec? and it would be the perfect drive-by vehicle. LOL

I grew up in really bad areas so I found the commerical extremely funny the first time I saw it.

 

:lol: :lol: Weeds is a great show!!!

U-turn says he bought 6 of 'em... Also a prius on "numb3ers" and californication, right after weeds.. B)

Nothing really funny or entertaining about profane and abusive language.

No it its not 1955, it is 2007. Profane and abusive language meant to be demeaning to other human beings, including those of the opposite sex is still in bad taste.

I mentioned that reference in Weeds a couple weeks ago on one of those "Prius on TV" threads, because U-turn bought so many of them for his homies to use in drive-bys. I always wondered what Toyota thought of that...

Some do not find humor in that sort of thing. Had I not grew up in that kind of culture I probably wouldn't either. Even now I see just how rediculously backwards those type of views are and how they do nothing to raise the people of that culture above the poverty level, yet I still find some of it funny.

Don't take offense. I can see their point of view and while it may be considered 50'sish to some, it really is the best tact to take. Being tolerant of ghetto behavior is a poor reflection on us all.

 

:lol: WOW!!

That's too deep for me this early in the morning...

And to think, I enjoyed it because I just thought Weeds was a very funny, very good TV show! B)

 

Don't you think it's cool that the idea of a car being cool because it's quiet rather than having a 5 inch diameter drain pipe hanging out the back spewing noise and stink is being promoted in a way that may appeal to a whole new demographic? You have your Prius because you firstly know about it and secondly some aspect of the car appeals to you. Maybe there are aspects of a Prius which might appeal in the gettos too and the Prius can find a wole new market there. Maybe that will help the cause? who knows.

 

This thread is just plain sad.

 

I think someone else posted that video several (or maybe a couple) weeks ago.
I understand the humor ... and I understand the offense aspect. Of course elaborating on one side or the other tends to offend the 'other side'.
There's too few folks taking the understanding/neutral view to understand both sides of the issue ... kinda like when PC'ers talk about loss of traction on ice, :

"What? I never had a problem with MY Prius loosing power on ice ... you just don't know how to drive it or not smart enough to buy decent snow tires "
versus
"This piece of junk Prius has a design defect, and you're too blah blah bhah to realize it"

de ja vu

 

It's pretty funny (I can understand the offensiveness also) and is speaking to a different demographic here like patsparks said. It is saying that the Prius is not only for the goody-two-shoes tree huggers, it is good for a person who is "tough" and "macho" as well. Notice they didn't show a silver pine mica or a seaside pearl, they showed a black car. I say good advertising.

 

Stereotyping but somewhat funny, I, too, like to sneak up on people and patiently wait until they are surprised. The narcissist in me is satisfied realizing that they are used to driving inferior cars wasting gas when stopped...

 

I thinks it is a bad represantations of hour sosiaty, but the bitch ho sure lookin hotttt!!!!!
