Do you spout the proper leftist bromides and eschew the wrong-think so prevalent in our society? If so, you’re demonstrating your sense of social responsibility. From Eric Peters at ericpetersautos.com:
As bad as things are here, they are even worse over there.
In the UK, Toyota ads for the Hilux – which is the export-variant of the Tacoma pick-up and the 4Runner SUV sold here – have been banned because the UK’s Advertising Standards Authority says that showing trucks and SUVs doing what trucks and SUVs are designed to do demonstrates contempt for a “sense of responsibility to society.”
Whatever that means.
Of course, we do know what it means. If you understand what Leftists mean when they utter such things. It means the Left does not like it – and that means if you do, you are “irresponsible.”
“Society” being the Left.
It is of a piece with the Left’s styling of opposition to Leftism – or even questioning it – as a “threat to our democracy.” Italics added, to emphasize that the Left means their “democracy.” In which you are free to agree with the Left.
The ads that triggered the Left show the Toyotas rooster-tailing through the dirt and fording creeks “in a manner that disregarded their impact on nature and the environment.” It’s a scene straight out of Cannonball Run, an old move that also lacked a “sense of responsibility to society.” In it, a mousy Leftist named Arthur J. Foyt gives a lecture about “the environment” and what he says is our “responsibility.” His talk is interrupted by a concatenation of combustion.
Brilliant videos!🤣
