The title of the thread is "unacceptable add" which I assume means the addition of the car to the Nissan lineup?

There's a huge difference from movies and comics to advertising and trying to sell someone your product.

How many movies show rape and/or murder in gruesome detail and it fits with the story? When things like that are shown in an appropriate context, it's more acceptable. That doesn't mean it should be used in advertising. Nissan just wants to show benefits of it's product. Those benefits shouldn't be hitting motorcyclists. Sorry, this is still bullshit.

Whatever else you say about it, the ad made no sense.

If this event inspired our mythical road babe to get the moto tank console, what kinda console did she have before?  There was no before, this is a new model.

Be that as it may, I hit a deer once in my Nissan Frontier, but I didn't run out and get a set of antlers for my gear shift lever.

To borrow from a hackneye colloquialism, this ad is a epic fail; heck it's such a fail it should be spelled "fale".

Though I must admit, if I were gonna go for a CGI futurama emo chick, that would be the one.

Haha, because I'll assume you're not a complete idiot. But IF YOU WERE (like let's face it, MOST assholes in the world) and Nissan ran an ad with rapist deer and a guy in a Frontier saving the world by running them over, you might have gotten those antlers (or at least not given a shit about the deer/(motorcyclist).

Anyways, it's a dumb ad to begin with. And I can't belive how many people in corporations have to sign off on things and they approved this. Like my friend said:

"I can't belive 30 motherf*ckers watched that horseshit and said 'Yeah, that will sell us more cars'."

(But I do agree it's still somewhat surprising this was given the green light to air, given it's a crap ad.)

Nissan is one of the japanese car companies that doesn't also sell bikes

Bikes:
Honda
Suzuki
Kawasaki
Yamaha

No Bikes:
Nissan
Toyota (and subsidiary Daihatsu)
Mazda
Mitsubishi (but they USED TO!)
Isuzu

maybe that's why they had no problem doing that with the bikes...?

As a fan of anvils I am appalled by the way Warner Brothers portrayed their use by the coyote!
