Just saw a Toyota commercial with Chuck Norris

[angrychair]

1) who the hell decided to pull this fossil out of the “B” movie bin?

2) more importantly, are our memories so short we forgot who Chuck Norris is and what he has said?

Norris is a far-right religious wingnut tinfoil hat conspiracy theorist that pushed ridiculous conspiracies like Jade Helm and chem-trails

Toyota should NOT be giving this dangerous idiot airtime or normalizing him in any way.

[Ferrets are Cool]

1. I will never forget what a horrid person he is. It is deplorable

and yes, that was used on purpose, that he is being paid to advertise ANYTHING other than hate....which he could do on that Faux News POS.

[LakeArenal]

2. No shit.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

3. Makes sense. The ones who embraced Chuck Norris memes are getting to be about the age

where they can afford Tacomas. Demographic marketing is fascinating.

[TheBlackAdder]

10. It was big, in my kid's schools 6-7 years ago. I showed my kids who he was, and they spread the word

.

Within a year, he was seen of as a joke.

[peekaloo]

4. Perhaps it is to remind people about defective air bags!

[onethatcares]

5. You may have something there

old Chuck reminds me of a defective air bagall the way.

[workinclasszero]

6. I can't believe Toyota used this right wing POS

as a spokesperson!

Do they thing deplorables drive Prius's????

[farmbo]

7. Toyota of America Contact Info:

8. I don't much like his politics

But he served four years honorably in the air force and lost his younger brother who was killed walking point for his patrol with the 101st Airborne in the Ah Shau valley. So while I don't like him, I respect him and support his right to his opinions.

[angrychair]

11. His "opinions" include:

* killing and/or jailing LGBTQ

* we should deport/kill/jail immigrants

* jailing and tattooing atheists with an American flag
On their forehead

* that Jade Helm 15 was a liberal plot to take over
America

* that chemtrails are a government tool to control our
minds

Nothing wrong with a political discussion or disagreement but that is not what this is.

16. On your atheist claim...

18. Sorry, the link doesn't work

I’m sure some will make the argument that he was being sarcastic but based on his other comments I’m very sure it was not far from what he believes.

[Awsi Dooger]

9. Plus he's four feet tall

I nearly fell over in a seizure of laughter when I saw Chuck Norris walk into the Barbary Coast sportsbook in Las Vegas maybe 15 years ago.

He was barely visible above the counter.

I was literally wobbling on jello legs. Friends had to help me compose myself. This is the all-time tough guy, the one responsible for all those wild memes?

[DavidDvorkin]

20. How is that relevant?

[BSdetect]

12. Fuck Toyota. I own a Rav and am appalled by their funding that twat.

[ProudLib72]

19. You should give me that Rav4.

That'll teach Toyota!

Ok, I own an ancient 4Runner, and I always had respect for Toyota until now.

13. So hate me. I think it's funny.

My kids always speak of Chuck Norris sarcastically or ironically, and they can be as mean and as cynical as I am.

It's not like Chuck Norris is President of the U.S.A., not like some vile presidential Hollywood trash we will not name.

Or Ronald Reagan.

Chuck's public persona is a plastic action hero, like G.I. Joe or Dwayne Johnson.

There nothing unforgivable about that. Give a Hollywood working stiff past his prime a break.

We can't all be geniuses.

[angrychair]

15. His opinions are not innocent or harmless

They include:

* killing and/or jailing LGBTQ

* we should deport/kill/jail immigrants

* jailing and tattooing atheists with an American flag
On their forehead

* that Jade Helm 15 was a liberal plot to take over
America

* that chemtrails are a government tool to control our
minds

That “vile Hollywood trash we will not name” started out as a seemingly harmless fringe idiot that no one took seriously.

[Initech]

14. Chuck Norris jokes are so 2003.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

17. You'd better not read this reply, because I have "Walker, Texas Ranger" on the TV right now. NT
