Hoping to be saved by zero more of those commercials
An AP story confirms something that I thought was just me. Those Toyota “Saved by Zero” commercials are universally hated by everyone. It’s so annoying and the song gets on my nerves. And it’s on ALL the time, especially if you watch a lot of sports. The bad news is that Toyota expects to extend its 0% financing special for another month due to low sales. The ads continue nationally through Sunday, with the possibility of local commercials after that.
There is a group on Facebook called “Stop Playing Toyota’s ‘Saved By Zero’ Commercial” and in a week and a half already has well over 1000 members. I have also seen that there is a lot of discussion about this commercial on forums.commercialsihate.com. Yes, I know the fact that I am even talking about it only proves that the advertisement has worked on some level. But it is so frustrating that I could not help myself.
OH MY GOD! I hate this commercial with a passion. It’s so annoying cause they play it pretty much every commercial break when watching sports. I always huff and puff and walk out of the room when it comes on and Neal wonders what he did wrong. At least I know I am not the only one!
