Saved by Zero

I posted this on a friend's wall on Facebook, but I feel so strongly regarding this issue I'm going to put it here as well. It was in regards to my friend pointing out how amazing the backlash to Toyota's Saved By Zero ads have been.

"For more than a year people complained about the Mellencamp "This Is Our Country" commercials, not realizing that if you forced yourself to enjoy them (i.e. drank enough) they became awesome. Now, as karmic retribution for everyone whining about the Mellencamp ads we're stuck with these Saved By Zero ads which are by my calculations about 1,000x worse. Basically what I'm trying to say is that the backlash is justified."

Some related stuff from the anti-Saved By Zero Facebook group:
