The Fixx thought it was all right...

If you watched any American football or baseball game in the past month, you definitely saw this several times during every telecast...



That ad is getting pulled after this Sunday because thousands of people told Toyota it is both annoying and insulting.

Insulting? All I see is a big zero pushing cars with a song from the Fixx in the background. Sure the zero is a fence-sitting number of colour, the vehicles being sold are Japanese, and the Fixx are only a moderate success, but neither of these should matter now.

Maybe I haven't seen them enough. Those ads haven't run in Canada. We get these instead.
