    Why would we want to show a Land Rover irresponsibly driving in teh bloody salt water ? Sounds like a stupid idea to me - people already think 4WD'ers are stupid and with all teh rollover dramas on Fraser island.....

    Should I reply to this???OK
    Sounds like a stupid idea to YOU that’s right I can't argue with that, but that is YOU.
    I am sure there are a lot of other people like me who realise that this is a TV commercial it is not real life, it is not a statement on how stupid 4wder's are, it is purely advertising and possibly to some entertaining.
    Didn't MR T trash some cars in a tank on a recent chocolate bar commercial? Does that mean all tank drivers are stupid?

    It has nothing to do with "ads aren't real".

    I personally (yes, that's ME very clever!) just hate ads that show 4WD's being driven in the surf. It's stupidity.

    Whether you like it or not, some people will see the ad and think "oh there's another 4wd destroying the environment".

    Just be aware of it.

    Am I saying you shouldn't do it ? That you should pander to the stupid and the anti-s by NOT showing it ?
    I'm saying no such thing.

    DO I still think it's a stupid idea ? Yeah.
    Mainly because is so completely cliched / been done before a million times.
    Get creative and do something INTERESTING for gawd's sake !.

    Hi Dave that was not a statement by me it was merely an example of how not to generalise groups of people through 1 obviously staged event.

    Also I didn't think I was in an argument just general discussion you know different people stating different opinions.

    Besides I have nothing at all against tank drivers or tanks ...here's a pic of one I towed with the D2 just the other day.

    Looks like someone may have driven that in the salt water as well.
