This was an ad that Hyundai said wasn't supposed to get out. Since been removed from their channel. Thoughts?



Do you find it too insensitive?

Do you agree with the backlash?

I don't think that commercial should be on TV. I don't find it offensive but I can see how others do. I'm sure there is a better way to get the message across.

I can see people who may have someone who was close to them, that may have died via exhaust inhalation, would find this offensive.
