There is not a man in the world who will not love this ad for the Toyota GT86 and not one woman, wife, girlfriend who will look at her man and say..."don't even think about it!"

Wu Lyf, the band whos music this is, has not consented to this music being on this add nor has recieved money or credit..... :(
ReplyDeleterip off artists
ReplyDeleteA major automaker like Toyota can't pay an artist or ask their permission to use their music in a commercial. You should be ashamed Toyota. Hopefully they recall this ad like they did all of Toyota's cars...
ReplyDeletewhat a great mistake by the production company, the agency and toyota, to use WU LYF's music without their consent and not paying the rights to use it. It's lame that the certain parts of the spot are directed in a very similar way than WU LYF music videos, (cast, high speed, jumping fences, etc) SHAME on all the people involved on the making of this ad
ReplyDeleteTOYOTA. WE ARE GONNA BURN YOU ALIVE FOR THIS. TOYOTA PIECE OF SHIT..!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, Toyota... you might've just stolen the wrong band's music there.
ReplyDeleteAlso, everyone else: If you enjoy the music you just listened to, go buy it! It's WU LYF, Go Tell Fire To The Mountain. Just so you know.
why u rip off such good song for ur fuckn bull shitty arse shitty car any way
ReplyDeleteToyota you are in big problems now. WU LYF is gonna find you
ReplyDeleteToyota may not have permission FROM THE BAND and they may not have paid THE BAND, but they definitely got permission from and paid someone. No one just grabs their favorite CD and pops that music on TV.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, thats what you get when you sign to a label for a mountain of money. They find ways to recoup it.
Toyota are thieving bastards
ReplyDeleteWhy would you use a band's music in your advert without first consulting the band? Embarassing behaviour, Toyota.
ReplyDeleteLucifer Youth coming at Toyota badadingding
ReplyDeleteAside from the music being used without permission of the band, I think this advert is insulting, melodramatic, and as WU LYF themselves said, sexist. Basically it's a pile of bollocks.
ReplyDeleteSexist & pretty much abhorrent ad. I'd like to advertise a divorce lawyer before I would advertise my car. I'll bet WU LYF's lawyers would too, Toyota. For shame on your irresponsibility.
ReplyDeleteDear Dirty Bastards,
ReplyDeleteWithdraw this ad and return your choice of music to either those CGI rap group aresholes, or whatever middle of the road solo artist you seen an article about in last month's GQ. Keep your filthy paws of the music of those you neither have the right nor the credibility to use.
Yours,
Gareth Breeze
Oh so when a private person decides to use music illegally you defend them but when it's a corporation you attack them? Please apply logic when doing anything...
