Veritas Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 wtf why would it be any concern? any person who's driving this car to begin with isn't going to be having the keys readily accessible to children anyways, blah stupid. Good commercial actually looks good i think and im not a big fan of vettes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Spyder550 Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 Damn it,I hate those fucking safety groups! graemlins/bsflag.gif Not that one commercial is a huge deal, but what is it going to be next? Will everything be round, dull, and padded in the future?? People are intelligent enough to figure these things out on their own, and if they can't, they deserve what they get. graemlins/doh.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jpurdy2003 Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 You know as well as I do that if the safety groups had their way, performance cars would not be allowed to exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 I think we should write some letters, and tell them that a commercial is just as much for entertainment as a movie. Then have a p.s. of go fuck yourselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hilton 67 Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 There is an article about this in the latest Motor Trend. It talks about this commercial and others that were taken off the air because of what some might think. It is a shame that the ones that make decisions about what we can see think that our kids would take our sports cars out for a joy drive. It comes down to the fact that they (the people who make the decisions) were not raised to have respect for high performance cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
