Subaru Boxcar Ad

Commentary

UPDATE: Kill your boxcar ad, Subaru!

I’m pleased (and relieved) to report that, with a push from readers of this blog and the Association of American Railroads, Subaru has thankfully removed its “Boxcar” ad from circulation, demonstrating at least some sense of corporate social responsibility. Now, I’d like to hear from the Fillmore & Western, the tourist railroad that provided the equipment and right-of-way for the infamous commercial. Why would you allow this? Aren’t you aware of the dangers of trespassing and attempting to ride a freight train? What were you thinking?
