Continuing is long-running trend of thrashing about its Tacoma pick up truck, Toyota is at it again; this time with a barfing Loch Ness monster who can’t seem to stomach the truck’s indestructible nature. Of course, a truck being shot out of the water like a cannon ball, smashing head first onto the ground and then being driven off with nary a scratch causes one to put as much belief into that as the existence of the Loch Ness Monster. Oh but wait, there’s a disclaimer: “Fictionalization. Not a demo of Tacoma’s performance or crash capabilities.” Hmm. It might as well have read, “This commercial is a lie and we apologize for treating you like an idiot. Go buy a Ford. They’re the ones that are really Built Tough.” Nice touch though having Loch Ness Project’s Adrian Shine in the spot. Not such a nice touch dropping the word “Expedition” in the spot though.
