Here's a funny parody of a Mazda 6 survey site, from those whacky folks in Mazda Estonia :-)

Yeah I've seen that before. Funny stuff. My favorite is the "6 is more" one.

I don't get it. What is so funny?

About the "6 is More" one or about the whole survey in general?

I'm always impressed (and a little jealous) by how daring ads can be in the rest of the world than in the US. Very few if any of those ads would have made it past the whiney ratings advisors to the airwaves. They're hilarious in my opinion!

Those ads are very funny.
Shame there are too many "precious" people in Australia and the USA who would get offended by these. I am sure the majority of people who would see these ads would get a laugh out of them :-)

Those ads aren't funny. They are tasteless. What's more: they are illegal to advertise in most countries.

Ever figured why they did this in the form of a "survey"?

It's so they can't be reached by justice. Anyway, it's pure BAD TASTE of Mazda in Estonia. If Mazda HQ in Japan found out about this, they would probably have them remove it immediately. It hurts the Mazda brand. A lot.

Funny? God, think a little!

And that's why humor, gentlepeople, is in the eye (or ear) of the beholder.

But it just chaps my hide when someone goes as far as saying "think" when s/he disagrees with a subjective an issue as humor. If you don't like it, please by all means parade about how much it offends you... but don't assume that those who are amused or entertained by the same offending material are in any way unintelligent for the same. To me, that is far more offensive than any "bad" comedy.

And here's me parading about it :)

Altersys... totally agree!!

I can see the theoretically funny about it, but if you think a bit further you could easily see the ad about extacy VERY offending. Did you ever meet the parents of the victims of that drug? I did. Trust me, it takes the fun away completely. What if you had lost your child to that drug? Still funny?

I agree a couple of those ads were fun, that's not what I meant. But a couple of them are so extremely bad taste it takes away that fun too.

And so I stand by my statement: think. By letting yourselves be amused by this kind of the lowest form of "humour", then you also agree on extacy being a bit fun. Sorry if my anger on this matter offends you. But this makes me really mad.

Just my 2 cents. Even though that won't buy you a fortune cookie...:sarc
