Manly Men and Pickup Ads

Most of these kind of ads don't appeal to me but Toyota here in .au have been running a Landcruiser TVC where the he-Manly is trippin' out on snake poison and the Landcruiser takes him through the desert to hospital.
I can relate to that one -- what with the halucinations and all.

I like this quote:

You settle on the sofa and turn on the pregame show, and the first thing you see is a commercial for a pickup truck. This is followed by another commercial for a pickup truck, and then, for a change of pace, several more commercials for pickup trucks. Then there's about 45 seconds of men talking about football, followed by still more commercials for pickup trucks. At this point, you start to wonder if you're the only guy in America who doesn't drive a pickup truck.

It's at the Washingtonpost now too.

Dave Barry is too funny. I love this bit near the end of the article:

So now, on the sofa, you are a husk of your former self, a man with a tiny shriveled Camry, wondering if you should ask your doctor about Viagra. But that would mean going to the doctor's office, which, in your imagination, has a giant neon sign outside that says ''VIAGRA DOCTOR, PROVIDING VIAGRA FOR GUYS WHO NEED VIAGRA.'' Also in your imagination there are pickup-drivin' guys outside the doctor's office, workin' on some kind of rig. As you drive up in your Camry, they give you noogies through your moonroof.

bwahahahaha! Is that a tiny shriveled Camry in your pocket or do you just need Viagra?
