Your kid has a thing for Asians. Blame yourself.

4 May 2009 10 Comments

A video by Avalon Films wants you to believe Asian-fever’s a bad thing. Something to be ashamed of. What’s worse is that your kids are hooked too. And it’s your fault.

What’s up with the video you ask? Well, Avalon Films is a commercial production company that used to get it on with Chrysler, Ford and GM. Problem is, the big-threes dont put out anymore. People aint buying cars and the stimulus pill bill aint working.

The solution? Bash the Asians. Because if you can’t join them and make cars people want… beat them. Beat them hard.

Original commercial update: Ghidora mentioned the original commercial and PVMike1 over at Club Lexus helped find it. Thanks guys!

    And parents that drive shit cars have kids that drive shit cars.

    I’d much rather have my kid drive a foreign car.

    I got a better one: parents who drive American cars have kids who learn from their mistakes…

    I hope that they were just trying to be funny & I am mad that I am old enough to remember the original commercial.

    The more I think about it, I guess it does not matter where the car is made it’s the badge - not unlike how it is in luxury brands. I guess it is more important to have an American badge that gives visual support as opposed to buying a foreign brand that is made in America.

    funny how lots of the ‘domestic’ makers have plants in canada and mexico while ‘foreign’ car makers such as toyota and BMW have plants in the US…which are built FOR americans, BY americans, IN america..

    dont pull that bull sh*t.

    Ethereal: Isn’t that just insane?

    NYPD buys a made-in-America Nissan Altima, made by hard working men and women in Tenn/Mississippi and a bunch of grown men get their panties in a knot suggesting they buy a Ford Fusion instead. Guess what? The Ford’s made in Mexico.

    These days the foreign are just as domestic as the big three. No difference.

    …But nodoby has a problem with buying products OTHER than cars made in China, Bangledesh, Cambodia, Ethopia, etc… like clothes, toys, towels? Give me a break! Like only cars keep people working. This is ignorance. Total ignorance. PS I love the ones that complain about “foreign” cars, but the car they drive is a 1992 Dodge Spirit. How about buying a new car to support the economy, or shut your mouth.
    PS my parents NEVER had an import car the whole time I was growing up. I just know how shitty they were, having to deal with the problems. Oh, the glory days of the BIG3…in the late 80’s and 90’s where they totally alieanted their “customer”, making whatever cares they wanted, at the prices they wanted, with the quailty they wanted to give the consumer. Now, that is ignorant.
