Unless you guys have had dealings with FCA and or the Jeep dealers like myself and others have had over warranty issues in new vehicles.N23 transfercase problems in the WH ,(still not fully fixed after 2 years for many owners ) lack of what should be fast moving parts, I think the smart ass comments show complete ignorance of the problem. As rangO said unless you have been in this situation it may be wise to shut up!!

Before people start getting defensive and abusive, lets re-read the original post.

The last sentence,

"Whats our thoughts at #ausjeep ??"
We've been asked for our thoughts.
It's not not a feeding ground for a keyboard war. I can see that's exactly where it's going to end up....

I take it that all of you think that a receptionist at dealership have blonde hair and spread legged at the desk ?
do you think that is ok ? now where did I mention his race or breed ?
yet you tell me that I am racist ?
swings BOTH WAYS or didn't you know , but apart from thoughts of this , you are stating that you think it is funny how he shows how a receptionist acts?
really ? who is being low ?
or is this the way you class ALL WOMEN ?
as for the gold chains and so on , I think the word is "rap" or is that "gang banger"?
who does he portray in this video ?
but I have never ever met a towie like that in my entire life , have you?
now seeming that I have delt with a hell of a lot of towies in my life such as auto recyclers , auction sites and so on , I have had dealings with the industry of a lot of dealerships and garages, workshops, auto recyclers and not in the owner buy side.
but yet YOU TELL ME THAT I HAVE A LOW LOOK APON OTHERS ?
so you are telling me that this is how I should look how receptionists act ?
how towies act? the video shows me that this is how he looked apon these people.
but wait a minute !!! you are telling me that this is the way that I am thinking as well?
who needs to rethink ? as far as I see you are saying that I am racist .
but the video tells how this guy looks at others right,
but no no no , according to YOU I am being racist.

take it easy.

Im pretty sure you are the only one who has mentioned any thing about the receptionist. No i dont look at all receptionist as "blonde and legs spreed" and im not sure why you would accuse anyone of this where there is no mention. I also do not see any issue of a man dressing like a woman.

If you dont think this is categorizing a person then i must of read it wrong. " looks like the type of person that hangs around Aspley in Brisbane at night to drop burnouts and gloat and sell what ever. OH the gold chains say it all".

I didnt call you racist i said you are being intolerant of this person race and beliefs and the way he has expressed himself by what you wrote and i think that is a poor way to look upon others. How is he being racist in his video?

As for the word "rap" not sure where your going with this but you'll find that most rappers these days are artist that want to express there creativity the way they want to and has no relation to gang bangers.

The tow truck driver i think you are referring to, i dont know why you will bring this up but if you look into the storey this guy bought the rights to use the song and the tow truck driver is a actor dressed as the original artist of the song.

I personally look at this as a harmless video with a comedic twist to it. Its not naming anyone or personally attacking on any body so i can't see the harm in what he said or had people dress in his creative video. Its a attack on a company which sold him a obvious defective vehicle.

This is my veiw on this topic.
Just keep in mind it is a free country and people can do as they please (with in the law), just the way you have expressed your self which you are entitled to. There are better ways to go about things to avoid these situations.

I applauded the guy, he took on a multi national & won.
Yes the video is very overt & in your face but do you really think it would have gone viral if it wasn't?

The towie was an obvious reference to Redfoo the artist the song was originally performed by.

As for the type casting of the other character's.. who here has ever referred to or seen in print the character assassination of a "used car salesman" as dodgy or untrustworthy???

I think some need to lighten up & not be so serious. We get enough crap from Nissota drivers, we don't need to pick on each other.
Keep race, religion, belief or non-belief out of it & don't assume. This is NOT the place.

Remember this is a Jeep forum, helping out other Jeepers & enjoying the Jeep life style. In the words of another Jeep forum its a "Way of Life".

On a final note, I wonder how much of the $60 Grand (pun intended) he will get to keep after Red Foo sue's his ass?

I think it might be a good idea to view the vid again, and take note of the bloke who is dressed like a woman and the actions this person does, I don't think any woman would take to kindly to it , even more so if there job is a receptionist.
as for the tow truck driver , I have never ever seen anything simular as this so called actor has portrayed. and for a person doing the job and has to put up with some of the actions people put them through (yes I knew quite a few)
being intolerant to certain things , yes I agree, but to a race ? NO ,
I am in fact intolerant the way others portray other people in videos, EG: what this forum displays on this page. and if these people feel good about portraying every worker in jeep as such , and people who are hard working and have lives and put up with phone calls of complete abuse and dealing with other companies not doing the right thing . as "funny" it might seem to others , some would,do find it offensive
it is the most derogative, disgustive, low meaning to a person and the video is full of it. intolerant of this person race ? intolerant of this person actions and the way it demeans others , yes , BUT TO A RACE !!! are you now claiming that behaviour of a person doing such things and dressing like a woman and thrusting the hips and wearing long gold chains while loading up a car is a good show of "work health and safety" for even acting on the cross dressing as if to say : that this is the way they behave ? does this make a good example on how a person lives ? BUT TO A RACE !! are you now saying that I am being : intolerant of this person race ? and what race would this be ? is there one you can refer to that I am being : intolerant of this person race . or are you doing the same ? do you hold something to "a citizen of Australia with a Asian wife and a 10 year old child ?
I don't know the people who these so called actors were portraying , but I am quite sure the actual people being portrayed in it would not like the way they were being portrayed. were these people contacted to ask ? did they know they were being portrayed in such a way ?
but lets not ask these things no no , we all just think the video is so called "funny"
redfoo is not the only one he should worry about.
