Hahaha, that's an awesome ad.


Hydrogen fuel-cell cars prevent suicides!

[Apostrophe Spacemonkey]

The other ads about cars that pump out environment destroying cancer producing suicide enabling carbon monoxide. They are the ads that should be getting banned.

That ad is Fantastic!

[Xsannz]

should have had the ending slogan..

Buy Hyundai..

so when you fail at life .. you can fail at dying...

or Hyundai, we here to help you fail.

It's a bit macabre but I don't think it was that bad. I do think suicide needs to be spoken about more rather than the taboo silence surrounding it.

There's a silence because when people talk about it, more people do it.

That was the thought a while ago, but it has been proven it is ineffective so they're starting to talk about it now, of course there is still some evidence to support the "silence".

[Pyromanik]

It's a news media thing I thought, not a general all out blanket.
