Akio Toyoda, the CEO of Toyota Motors appeared on Letterman last night. He confirmed what we already knew- Americans are shitty drivers and it's not Toyota's fault. You all drive like frightened kitties and need to go faster. Also, Letterman shoud kill himself.

Firstly, Dave, the floormats were NEVER a problem. That was an excuse used by Toyota to not look in to spending the money on a recall. I can't believe he just parroted that... or was that part of the satire? Seems to me you should at least in some way acknowledge the lie.

And that Prius driver in California may very likely have faked it:

But I can understand not wanting to speak against the guy, lest he attract a libel case.

Although I can acknowledge some comedic timing in this bit, it just safely plays on stereotypes from pre-1950. That's really the best you can do?

(Oh btw if people are wondering, that's not the real Toyoda Akio. )

Oh, come on, now. Nobody is wondering if that's the real guy. It's got the comedy and parody tags stamped right on it. Why break balls?>> ^BoneyD:
