As a motorcyclist, I find Juke ad promoting the deliberate crashing & road rage against motorcyclists more than disgusting. I find the Juke ad counter-productive to the public image of the Nissancompany. Motorcyclists & Nissan fans, please let the company know that you will not support this sort of advertising.

This is non-sense.

Tacky on many levels. Besides the obvious bit of violence it implies the masculine figures (moto riders) are predators in the opening piece. Classy, yep all moto riders are predators targeting females in parking lots. Classy nissan.
-Throttle's on the right, so are the brakes.  Good luck.

I ride motos and own an Nissan, and I don't really see the problem. It's done in comic book fashion. You guys are touchy.

Lol that's just a crappy ad. I could care less about the 'motorcyclist predator' fetish porn, bikers are the disposable henchmen in plenty of movies :D
Every time I meet a new group of your friends that understand you and your weird sense of humor I'm a little more amazed that there are other people in the world like you that lived through childhood - My loving girlfriend

You're right, I'm touchy.  Lost 2 motorcycle friends in a road rage accident.   Promoting road rage is the way to go i guess ... Sorry to bother you.

Well, I don't see how the ad promotes road rage. Like I said, it's done in the hero/villain comic book style. Big deal. I'd agree wth you if the ad actually showed road rage...like a Juke driver running a moto off the road for lane splitting or something.

Sorry to hear about your friends. That truly sucks.

No worries, you're not bothering me at all. You do realize this is a discussion board, right?  ;)

I'm with Triple J... nothin in there screamed road rage.  Reminded me more of that family guy episode with the fire truck stalking the zebras....

Besides being a lame commercial with a crappy car I don't see anything wrong.

Well... i saw the ad and as a video producer... it was well done.
as a motorcyclist... not only does it present a bad image about motorcyclists it promotes how to 'take them out' as a solution to them being a pest/pedator.

as a comic book fan, it's a classic good vs evil.

but the target market... althought hitting it with the comic book hype... it is also the same market stupid enough to try and do it for real as a joke

the reason i think its bad is because it targets motorcycles.
in movies it targets bad guys that happen to be on motorcycles because motorcycles are badass and henchmen need them to do their deeds.

Unacceptable because those motorcycles are faster and probably have more displacement than the "Juke"... that crap box wouldn't have been able to get close to the bikes in that chase, let alone jump a parking structure...
I don't own a Ducati...but I wrench on one.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.
