The other ads about cars that pump out environment destroying cancer producing suicide enabling carbon monoxide. They are the ads that should be getting banned.

That was the thought a while ago, but it has been proven it is ineffective so they're starting to talk about it now, of course there is still some evidence to support the "silence".
