I just hope this situation will not go like the CART/IRL split that destroyed American open wheel racing.

I'd feel that way if I cared at all about Formula 1 racing.

Toyota is a fairly crappy F1 team. And the one with the highest budget.

So the NY Yankees of Formula One.  Got it.

That doesn't stop them from making shitty ads about how their cars are awesome because they have an F1 team, when they're not making shitty ads that ruin hockey or shitty ads that play to the most mawkish Canadian nationalism imaginable.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Fuck Toyota advertising.

Saaaaaaaaaaaaved by zeeeeeeeeeeero!  Saved by zero!  Saved by zero! 

I don't know if they aired this one in Canada, but this looped Youtube video is remarkably similar to what a viewer experienced during commercial breaks during a football game (during all commercial breaks on all channels, it seemed) in the US:

That never happened in Canada.

I was impervious to that ad campaign, as I actually like the Fixx.

My current ad hatred is the Frosty Posse.
