Senator Feinstein to Toyota: Stop Making Fun of Fresno


Toyota has decided to pull and re-edit the above the "farting cows" commercial we showed you last week after California Senator Dianne Feinstein complained that it made unfair fun of Fresno (it didn't). The advertisement for the Prius indicated in the future "gas stations will become nothing more than low-budget tourist stops. Like ghost towns... or Fresno." A councilman said he'd forgive Toyota if they opened up a Prius plant in Fresno, to which Toyota replied: "God, no one from our company would want to live in Fresno... it's a ghost town."
