Wow, somebody's bashing Japan for producing pointlessly huge, stupid cars? He doesn't get out to America much, does he?

Meh. Let me save some of you a click: Bizarre Nissan SUV ad with a lot of SFX gets re-narrated by an arrogant Brit.

Kind of the YouTube version of a MadLib. :/

wow, didn't even get a smile from me. There's almost no commercial you couldn't do that with. Just not MacNN-funny to me, but maybe I've been around too long.

The only reason I laughed is how SUV car commercials always over-exaggerate it's abilities to do things that 90% of those that buy them don't use it for.

And I am not one of those Anti-SUV people.

I would be all for people being required to get a special license to drive larger than normal vehicles because there has been lots of wrecks where said SUV driver just couldn't control his/her (Ok, I admit mostly soccer moms) car.

That and while it may be "safer" for the person driving the SUV, it's not safer for the person they hit if it's their fault. As far as wrecks go. I realize SUVs are over-all harder to control and navigate compared to smaller cars.

For example this link...

While Rob was over-the-top with his comments, the things he said about SUVs are true.
