    Video: Hastily made homebrewed Toyota recall commercial parody

    Click above to watch the video after the jump

    You know you've hit a certain level of notoriety (for better or worse) when hacks with video editing software and a sense of humor post a video on YouTube that pokes fun at you or your situation and people actually watch. Toyota's recall of over 8 million vehicles for throttle, floor mat and brake issues has spent so much time in the headlines that the Japanese automaker appears to be at that dubious juncture.

    Saturday Night Live and The Daily Show have taken their cracks at Toyota, but they're professionals and they make fun of everybody. Beyond the jump is something different. It's definitely not professional and the quality of production just isn't up to par, but it does have one thing that helps it stand out: It's funny. Hit the jump to watch the video for yourself.

    Well it's been about a week, and I think the board is still alive and kicking. You gonna keep it banned, or does anybody want it back?
