Women Drivers Toyota in trouble

V Eight

Found this on AM Online - made me laugh - another win for the PC brigade.

"An advert for the Toyota Yaris has been banned after the advertising watchdog said it featured a woman driving with her eyes closed and singing along to the Bruno Mars song Locked Out Of Heaven."

Thank god, I really hated that ad.

Why is title "Women Drivers Toyota in trouble" when it should have been "Driving with eyes closed advert, Toyota in trouble"?
The gender of the driver seems irrelevant?

Proper order. That music is awful.

Don't lots of Toyotas steer and brake for themselves anyway so what's the problem

SNL with Jim Carrey did a good take on that. Not usually a fan of American comedy but its worth watching.
