Brickbat: Take a Hike

A new French law will require car ads to tell viewers to consider carpooling, taking public transportation, or walking or bicycling to their destination instead of driving the car. The law is part of the government's efforts to reduce carbon emissions and is based on previous laws requiring food and drink ads to encourage people to eat healthy foods. Advertisers will be fined €50,000 ($56,000 U.S.) for each ad that does not contain such a message.

'Let them eat tofu.'

There should be a requirement include in ads how flammable a car might be for the next worker protest.

Cheese eating surrender monkeys

Are you talking about French people or US Democratic elites?

[Chumby]

Yes

Here are 7 at-home jobs that pay at least $100/day. And there’s quite the variety too! Some of these work-at-home jobs are more specialized, others are jobs that qwt anyone can do. They all pay at least $3000/month, but some pay as much as $10,000. GO HOME PAGE FOR MORE DETAILS……… Click Here

I hate that the French gave cheese such a bad rap. If they fuck with bacon I say nuke 'em.

[Jerry B.]

Seriously. Don't give the Democrats ideas.

[Earth-based Human Skeptic]

So much for liberte.

Also, France has never come anywhere near egalite, and fraternite does not seem compatible with the guillotine.

I'd film the ads with an announcer reading the disclaimer at gunpoint, with the actor holding the weapon dressed as a gendarme.

[D-Pizzle]

What are "car pooling," "public transportation," "walking," or "bicycling?" I've never heard of them before.

“The authorities want us to tell you to carpool, use mass transit, or ride bicycles. That’s for pussies. Let us tell you about our awesome vehicle…”

This is the ad I’d make. Use the government’s words against them.

I come here just for the comments.
You sir, win the Internet for today
