The Nissan Leaf "Drive Electri Tour" , win-a-nissan-leaf competition is fake.
The competition is run by a sponsor who is an Ad company. They clearly state in the "official rules" that "Any entry will be eliminated, regardless of vote total, at any time ..."
It doesn't matter how many votes you get for your video, the sponsor will only choose winners based on whether your video and person can provide ad revenue for them.
Don't bother trying to get the most votes possible to win the car.
Cute commercial, and electric is certainly more energy efficient than gasoline, but don't believe all of the green-washing you see. No matter how nice companies like this try to make their product look in ads they're still just out to make money.
Anyone who doesn't comprehend or believe that our planet is in a time of dire change and WE are on the brink of losing all that makes us what and who were are, including Polar bears and all the rest of nature is delusional and in major denial. Electric cars are not going to save anything .. it is really too late. What about your children if you don't give a d*** about the rest of the natural world?
what a misleading ad. global warming is a hoax. i did not see any polar bears floating down the detroit river over the weekend. nissan knock off the global warming. cap and trade would be disaterous for the middle class.
@dcarman686 - Get your head out of the sand and read a few peer-reviewed articles on the subject. If you obviously believe that global climate change is a hoax then you're more ignorant than you sound.
@Triquetraa113 psst, we have a little thing called the Sun. i think that makes more of a difference than you riding around in your Yuko. But thats just me.
@dcarman686 Yes, we have a NOT so little thing called the sun, and we used to have something called an ozone layer (can you pronounce that alright?) that did a damn good job at filtering solar radiation. Thanks to your aerosol cans, car exhaust, meat consumption and other greenhouse gas outputs, we can effectively say goodbye to that pretty soon.
@Triquetraa113 you give us way too much credit. i want you to go to sleep tonight knowing the temperature will not rise if you start your SUV in the morning.
@dcarman686 And you don't know how to take responsibility for your actions. No one is saying that you're going to wake up to drastic changes - that's idiotic. But changes HAVE been happening at a geologically unprecedented rate, and they will continue to happen. It's probably too late to stop it all now, but the responsible thing to do would be to at least try. I hope you never plan on having children, because I can assure you they won't thank you for your blind denial of reality.
@Triquetraa113 you need to quit paying GOD. we are dust in the wind compared to all the other factors. clean rivers lakes and stuff like that. but don't try to regulate global warming. for goodness sakes you can't even stop a simple spring shower how in the world are you going to put out the sun
@dcarman686 what the HELL does the sun have to do with ANYTHING? Christ you're more ignorant than I thought. Cutting greenhouse gas emissions is ALL that we're looking at doing to stop global climate change. Cleaning lakes and rivers is an ENTIRELY different issue. Putting out the sun as you so eloquently put it would kill everything on earth within hours, thank you very much for the suggestion. And no, I'm VERY glad we cannot stop spring showers because some idiot like you would have tried.
@Triquetraa113 quit playing GOD, nothing you can do about climate change unless you can put out the sun. concentrate on cleaning rivers, lakes, and air. you could send all the fire trucks in the world to the sun and it would not put a dent in the climate
Nissan is not exactly the car producer to state that it's doing something more for the planet. And with this, I leave you to drive your SUV's, but try to do so underwater, with the windows down.
@SilverBars42 Look, the point is that I believe humans to an extent are responsible for it, but there are also natural factors to take into account....
@TheLastBrainLeft Most of those cars use electricity from coal anyway so Whats the point. They also dont show the bear eating the guy. Commercials like this encourage stupid people to jump into the Polar bear exibit at the zoo. Hmmm on second thought let them keep making these comercials
@SilverBars42 Not my fault you are contributing to it...but then again, it's not ENTIRELY humanity's fault now is it? My god, you neo-cons are so closed-minded.
I would love to see a giant suv plow right through the bear while he finishes eating the owner of the nissan. I believe in climate change. I feel that the earth does it on its own though. Obviously we went through an Ice age once. Not so great it that came back.
I did think of my own version of this. The Bear walks up the drive, and the guy comes out with a shotgun. He starts blasting. As the bear runs down the street, more people open up from doors and windows with a variety of weapons, more devastating than the last (think belt fed). As he gets to the last house, the garage door comes up exposing a guy loading a cannon, who smiles at the bear. In the next scene you see the guy in the family room, with a bear skin rug. Chevy, real cars for real people.
@regulas14u2 What, so you're denying climate change? Hope you know how to swim when the ice caps melt in 50 years, asshole! Bahahahaha! Until then, keep driving your Hummer.
@MannyZtheWolfWarrior Yeah we used to call it global warming then it stop warming and so now we call it global climate change and what does our climate do.... changes.... OMG you mean in a few months where i live in minnestoa it will be -10-15 for 3 or 4 weeks
lol and Ale Gore invented the internet too... its a joke these guys make the most money when there is a crisis.
@MannyZtheWolfWarrior ...Yeah ...except its not....typical liberal....cant handle facts and logic... keep action on your emotions and we'll see how that works out for you.
@dontgetmaddad And that's why people don't believe you, because you're a neo-con. Congrats for telling me that, you neo-con, considering that I'm not a liberal.
It's called climate change because people like you are ignorant enough to say "oh no, its not warmer EVERYWHERE! So it must not be warming!".
The fact is that there is a general warming trend throughout the planet (oceans, air temp, land etc.) while in specific local climates will change - some that used to be hot might experience unnatural cooling, while others might experience heating trends.
Read a scientific paper and stop believing everything the Tea Party tells you.
Its also people like you who think polar bears will hug you, that they cant swim, and that driving my car is going to make the earth flood.
Gosh your so informed, hey did you know Ale Gore invented the internet?
I also love how now im part of the Tea Party... I thought we were talking scientific papers and not politics... Oh wait this IS a political issue rather then a scientific one OMG thanks for make that clear...
@paragonshadow Yes, I am angry at the close-minded defeatist attitudes here. No, I am not a man. And actually I'm a senior Biology student, also majoring in Environmental Studies. I've interacted with polar bears, and they will not hug you, nor will they eat you unless you threaten them. "Ale" Gore is actually "Al Gore", and the fact that you're reverting to entirely unrelated baiting techniques proves your lack of knowledge on the subject.
@paragonshadow Also, polar bears swim to catch prey: they are not fish and cannot survive indefinitely in arctic water any more than you could. The earth will not necessarily flood - the increased greenhouse gasses will create a warming trend that slowly melt the ice caps and decrease the reflection of solar radiation, which will then cause that radiation to direct itself on the ocean, which will continue to gradually heat until the dissolved gasses in the water are released into the atmosphere.
@Triquetraa113 Lol what you call "lack of knowledge" i call not wanting to get into a political debate in youtube comments. So you can rage in your comment box and show you powned me hardcore and still i wont care. i still dont care.
Sure your a student that spends a SHIT load of time replying to youtube comments. Dont you have better things to do like saving the world? LOL
Oh and BTW your the one who brought politics in this.
@paragonshadow Lol. I love it when people try to convince themselves that they don't care about something but still HAVE to get the last word in. And why do you keep bringing politics in? The only reason the issue has been politicized is because nothing would be done about it otherwise. I've been arguing a case because I care about an issue and would like to see others perhaps start to care about their planet as well, but clearly people like you are just too self centered and apathetic. Oh well.
i dont know which I want more ..... a Leaf, or a polar bear!! this is the BEST commercial I have ever seen....bet Don Draper had something to do with it! ha,
I just sat here, crying and feeling so thankful that one company is finally speaking the truth in a way we all can hear... I'm getting a "leaf"... we need to rise up and make the change, for all creatures on eaarth, not just our children... Thank you, Nissan...
Yikes! Germany and the UK have declared 2010 as "Peak Oil"!!! From the tone of some people, it looks like they will have to start walking in a few years.
awesome commercial but it does make you think..... would a dolphin or humpback whale give a Japanese car owner a hug?????? Boycott Japanese products till the stop the illegal killing of whales and dolphins!
