Nissan Minima

AITOOW wonders what the message is in that Nissan Star Wars commercial? Are they saying that "the force" protects Asians from their poor driving ability? Is there automatic braking "the force"? I'm not sure if we (and by that I mean people who obsess over things like that) are supposed to be offended that they chose Asians as bad drivers or if we are to applaud the continuity with the movie (tossing in every ethnicity you can identify). The way the dad looks at the daughter makes you think that he thinks she is special and not an accident waiting to happen. Is the Dad a Kim Jung Un style dotard? Plus, could they have picked two less asian Asians? They are almost white. Just an uncreative attempt to co-brand with a movie that has nothing to do with what they do. Sad.
