Yeah, that was so unfair: Toyota pulls Prius ad that jabbed at Fresno:
The commercial depicts people driving the fuel-efficient Prius in an imagined future in which "gas stations will become nothing more than low-budget tourist stops. Like ghost towns ... or Fresno."
Now if they'd said Bakersfield... Snicker.

Tourists wouldn't be caught dead in Bakersfield. Wait, with our gang problem... that may be closer to home than first thought.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
