I saw a funny Toyota Tacoma commercial today that panned some nonprofit organizations' tearful pleas for donations.

It began by showing some ways that truckbeds take abuse, such as an ATV spinning its tires on the bed. Then the female spokeswoman came on to say, 'For the cost of two or three soy mocha lattes per day you can help stop truckbed abuse forever. ' Then with a closeup of her teary eyes she dolefully pled , 'Won't you please help?'

It was quite subtle but very clever. It took a moment to catch on. Sally Strothers satire.
