Anti-gas-guzzler ad from Greenpeace

July 21, 2006 - 5:23pm — David Herron

Video: New Anti-Guzzler Greenpeace Ad: Discusses a video advertisement produced by Greenpeace that attempts to get across an anti-gas-guzzler idea. The ad ends with the question "What does your car say about you".

I suppose it's in the same sort of vein as the "This is your brain .. this is your brain on drugs" advertising from the 1980's. That is, present a different viewpoint in a catchy format that gets the attention of the viewer.

Judging from the comments on the treehugger posting, treehuggers are tending to not like the advertisement.
