"TOYOTA ZERO EMISSIONS AD RULED MISLEADING

Brussels, 17 June 2008 - An advert for the Toyota Prius in the
European
Voice newspaper which breached the European car labelling directive,
has
today been ruled misleading by the Belgian advertising standards
authority.

Friends of the Earth Europe's car efficiency campaigner, Jeroen
Verhoeven,
filed a complaint against the advertisement which showed an image of a
Toyota Prius and included the words 'Zero emissions low'. The
advertisement
did not contain any CO2 emission or fuel consumption data, as is
obliged
under Belgian law, and thus violated European labelling directive
1999/94/EC.

Actually, they are ANTI-car threads, a difference that has no doubt
not escaped you in your quest to create diversions from unpalatable
topics.

There is not such thing. You claim to dislike cars and yet they're all you
want to talk about.

I will accept that reply from the expert in not answering questions,
answering question that were not asked, migrating threads to suit his
own purposes & going silent at when asked akward questions.

start.

No, they are about cars, whether pro- or anti- doesn't really matter.

He probably thinks in terms of good and bad car threads?

Maybe it's something to do with the era he grew up in, watching the
Saturday matinees with the goodies wearing white hats and the baddies
wearing black hats, a time when films were in black and white and so was
everything else.
