Unacceptable add from Nissan

[DucsLikeBread]

Looks like BS to me, dont see how this promotes anything bad. There's worse things like say Sons Of Anarchy and nobody pregnant doges about that.

Just another dumb ass comercial thats all.

Holy crap that car is ugly....

I could see how one could find "anti-bike road rage" in there. I don't, personally, but I suppose it could be read that way.

I'm just offended because it's a shit commercial, and lord knows we don't need any more of those.

I wanna see a custom Duc with a tank made from the Juke  center console.

Nissan Puke. I hear they almost named it that. But, it tested poorly.

I posted the video and the following on my facebook yesterday:

This is absolute bullshit. Not only do I find it irrehensible that Nissan is showing one of it's products running into motorcyclists (however 'evil' they try to make the riders seem), but it's also bullshit from a design perspective.

Why doesn't Nissan own the make the beast with two backs up and tell the real story about the design? A DESIGNER (who I know) fought through frustrating and agonizing meetings and spells of blank emptiness trying to find inspiration for unique forms. Included in many proposals was one that represented the form of a Ducati fuel tank/seat. That's how this works. That's what happens in real life, and that's where car designs come from. Oh, I forgot. No company wants to admit that they borrow inspiration all the time... at least not to the public who they are trying to push their products on. "Innovation in Design"... by killing people?

The concept for the ad is fine (Urban Legend) but when I am dodging endless make the beast with two backsing idiots in cars who are oblivious to me on my loud ass bike everytime I ride on the street, I hardly want to see a car company PROMOTING a rivalry and trivializing the dangers of such. And I'll pretend that the Ad didn't begin by making 3 motorcyclists appear to be rapists waiting for their 'prey'...

Nissan, why don't you show the reality of your concept. Instead of being CG graphics, show the dent a motorcycle will make in the 1/4 panel of your Juke. And then show the mangled heap of leathers that used to be a person who was riding that motorcycle when your car hit them. Don't hold back either, go ahead and show all the blood to really drive your point home. Nissan: Shift_your car into the lane of bike riders because they are all rapists.

In conclusion: I don't really like this much.

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...

 

But, yeah.. The doosche bags out there think since they have a juke, they can go dodge motorcycles..

For those that make a comparison to comics, and movies.. There is a difference. In both those cases, you are not trying to sell anything. The ad however is, which makes a ton of difference when it comes to how the people viewing it perceive..

[Spidey]

You're missing the point of the ad--  Did you guys see the ass on that digital chick?   

The ad was a bit stupid, but I've got better stuff to get up in a huff about.  Like that f'n pushbike Ducati calls the GP11.1.

Thin skinned are we?

[DucHead]

They spelled "Joke" incorrectly.   

[justinrhenry]

+1  get over it. 

[Drunken Monkey]

The only thing unacceptable about that ad was how bad it was.

[chixstrip]

A Diavel-shaped center console. That would be a real trophy.

[rideserotta]

Jeeze guys... it's a comic. The ad is bad quality, design, concept, etc. No Juke could keep up with a bike like that. And those guys had mad skillz! Did you see how they weaved in and out of the columns!!!???
