Although not officially licensed, a designer who goes by the name of David Krulik has drawn up three adverts for Toyota that are sure to bring a whole heap of publicity to the eco-motor.
The essence of the adverts are that it doesn't matter if you do something bad, so long as you drive a Prius.
The campaign shows a variety of immoral acts with the tagline, “Well, at least he drives a Prius.”
The first advert entitled 'Killer’ shows a man dragging a dead body into the lake, the second ‘Lover’ shows a wife making out with the gardener while the husband is at the doorsteps and the third, ‘Prostitute,’ shows a man in a Prius chatting up a street hooker.
You can check out a gallery of the adverts here:

It seems like the artist is portraying that having a Prius makes your more slick and sneaky. In my book a ninja car is more appealing than a redeeming car! With such crimes as prostitution, adultery, and murder in these advertisements I doubt that Toyota will endorse them but I wouldn't be surprised to see them stick with the phrase 'well, atleast he drives a Prius' with lesser crimes, such as littering.

To be honest, I quite like seeing adverts that think out of the box a bit. I'm not saying I condone murder and dumping bodies in remote lakes, but it's nice to see a car ad that strays from the normal and mundane.

I like the ad but still prefer my mondeo.Having a twisted sense of humour helps though not in my choice of car I may add

Hey, they may not please everyone, but at least the guy who came up with them drives a Prius.
