Incredibly bad ad from Toyota
 

Yes. It was real and they had to pull it off the air.

With a serious effort I could try to understand the guys trying to sell the idea to the corporate cats. But I will never understand those who approved it.
Human stupidity is infinite.

Are they stupid?

Did they even do a market research and find out what Yaris's potential audience is? I bet most of them are parents.

Its a lot like that ad Clarkson and Hammond tried to make for VW :D

The idea is that this is what fathers think every time men take out their daughters. The Yaris will therefore assuage all his doubts because it's really safe. I thought it was rather funny, if not a remarkably effectie advertisement.

^It would probably be his mother's car. Or his sister's car.

I've never driven a Yaris. The worst car I've driven remains the Holden Viva.
