How about this for an advertisement that is going to get somebody killed.

Possibly the idiots who don't know acting might try it on themselves.

Being a fairly dozy old Hector I only realised ti was an advert when some one mentioned it and I then recalled I had seen a p*psi can. If anyone is silly enough ti try it the Darwin Factor will take care of them.

How is it going to get someone killed? Silly, thoughtless hyperbole. It was a clearly staged but harmless piece of fun.

Psst, you don't even want to think about what happens in WRC. Such a bad example! So irresponsible!! There ought to be a law against it etc etc.

I'm not familiar with the abbreviation WRC, but I am familiar with the propensity of today's silly people who copy stunts on TV. Note : I didn't say 'young people'. A bellyfull of beer makes rally drivers of all ages.

WRC=World Rally Championship.

Do action films crammed with shooting and high-speed car chases encourage viewers to emulate this behaviour in real life?

There have always been silly people. There always will be. Nothing new.

But you might have touched on a point. The advert focuses on the camaro much more than the sugar-free beverage. I wonder if Chevrolet stumped up half the cash for the ad, but didn't want to be officially associated with it in case hand-wringers accused them of being irresponsible...
