Christ it's only a joke, I have no idea of the nationality of who created it. If it had been Chinese would you all have pulled out the stereotypes too?

Wankers.

OK, take the nationally out of it, your humour sucks

Just because something is stupid does not make it funny

Or maybe it age thing,  younger people do have a weird sense of humour

The movie Hang Over was on of the top grossing movie of 2009

Geez, AirB... who peed in your Cheerios this morning?   :rofl2:  I thought the Hangover was fantastic and hilarious, by the way.

Well I think it's funny...so does that make me younger too? 

It might be time for me to come out and accept responsibility for this Toyota saga...I'm part of an obviously militant wing of driving enthusiasts called Anti-Won't Have It Manual Please...or Anti-WHIMP.

Our goal is to stop the massive proliferation of all of the autos and semi-autos out there...and what better way than having a safety message!

With a manual, if you get unintended acceleration - clutch it...you're done.  No having to look down and shift into neutral...no hoping the brakes will override the throttle...no freaking around with holding the "on" button for 3 seconds.  It's something that MT drivers are programmed to do...a key factor in dealing with emergencies.

Heck, we Anti-WHIMP folks will get into an automatic car and STILL put our left foot to the floor looking for a third pedal that doesn't exist...we're not smart...but we're passionate.

The Toyota gas pedal issue...is it a fly by wire or electronic throttle control system?
