Toyota Apologizes For Recent Ad; Reiterates Original Position
Last week, one of Toyota’s ads ran during the broadcast of Glenn Beck’s show in the UK. We thought this was a bit odd given that Toyota ceased advertising on Mr. Beck’s show many months ago. So, we reached out to Toyota to see if the ad signified a change in their position.
Well, your voices were heard. This morning, Toyota’s UK twitter account tweeted the following:
The link brings you to this statement posted on Toyota’s blog:
It came to our attention yesterday that one of Toyota GB’s advertisements appeared during Glenn Beck’s show earlier this month. This came after we withdrew our advertisements from the show earlier this year.
We’d like to reiterate that our position remains unchanged. We apologise sincerely, and we assure you that this will not happen again.
Great work all! See, your tweets and emails do matter.
My best guess as to what happened? Fox News messed up again and ran an ad they shouldn’t have run – an increasingly common problem.
Many thanks for your continued participation in this accountability effort.
Onward we go…

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
A Live Nation Protest
COME OUT AND STAND UP FOR OUR
FIRST LADY,
MICHELLE OBAMA
Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck Bold Fresh Tour
All Ages – Saturday – 07/31/10
6:00-9:00 PM
Theatre at Westbury in Westbury, NY.
It’s time to finally say “we’ve had enough” of that racist stuff. There’s a protest brewing, and it anit the Tea Party!
O’Reilly: “I don’t want to go on a Lynch Party against Michelle Obama unless there’s evidence, hard facts, that say this is how the women really feels”. He goes on to say in substance, that “if she really feels that America is a bad country, or a flawed nation,” then that’s legit, I’ll form a (lynch party). We’ll track her down.
Beck: “President Obama is a racist and has a deep seeded hatred for white people”.
“I don't think I've ever seen the first lady with her — excuse the expression — but with her breasts all smooshed up.”( would he say that about Sarah Palin?) Hell no!
We’re urging all concerned Big Apple Brothers and Sisters to come out to meet and greet O’Reilly and Beck. Let’s let them know exactly how we feel about their racist, degenerate, and the perverted views, they display towards our black heads of state and the nation, President Burrack Hussein Obama and Michelle Obama, the 1st Lady of the United States of America.
It will also be very interesting to see just what type of American followers they have coming to their racist events. I’m sure they will get and understand the outrage message that will be displayed.
Pass the word around, two clowns coming to town.

We must keep the presure on. Yes, there are first amendment rights, but that works both ways, it's a two way street and we don't want Beck double parking his car in our neighborhood.
