It may just be me and it may also be an age thing, but I’m told all too frequently nowadays that I can’t say that, or the PC (Politically Correct) Police will get me!

For example, Toyota used to market the HiLux as tough blokey work horses and for whatever reason their television commercials on occasions raised the ire of some people who found them offensive. Although the TVC’s weren’t actually banned, they did only have relatively short on-air campaigns.
For a little light relief, here are a few of the classic HiLux TVC’s
