Maloderous Canadian Freaks and Weirdoes

GM apologizes for "freaks and weirdos ride the bus" ads
The President of the Canadian Urban Transport Asoociation wrote a letter to the President of GM Canada, protesting GM's ads that characterized public-transit riders as freaks and weirdoes who smelled bad. GM Canada's Director of PR apologized.

We deeply regret that this ad ran and we apologize if some individuals have been offended by its content. The ad has been pulled from circulation and will not be run in any other publication.

From Boing Boing
