TOKYO — A racy new Japanese ad campaign launched for the 2012 Toyota Auris, or Corolla as it’s known in some markets, has been causing a commotion for boldly challenging convention — and probably not in the way you would think.

Have a look at the commercial here.

The star of the commercial is 19-year-old Ukrainian transgender model Stav Strashko.

The commercial ends with the campaign’s tagline “Turn Your Rear to Common Sense” (常識にお尻を向けろ). Check out a short interview with Stav about the commercial here.

This Thread is Useless With Pictures

Talk about false advertising. And what exactly is this add supposed to say to the consumer? Buy a Toyota and it will turn you into a chick?

[Army Air Corps]

I think that we can do without pics.

[WakeUpAndVote]

For the love of God, do not post a pic of it! Eye bleach is not working!

[dfwgator]

That’s what I said.

Had to see this, and actually this one has not even gone that far...

Let just day the package was near the hatch in the back...

Sad the trannies are starting to look better than real women...gonna need dna test before dating. This is a tranny. Google Laura Bodrini with safe search off... Yes, she still has a penor.

Japan, the world's largest exporter of WTF since 1952.

[lefty-lie-spy]

This kind of off the wall sh!t isn’t unusual here. Creepy, yes.

[OrangeHoof]

If looking like a chick was his objective, he/she did an exceptional job. Can’t imagine it will last very long though.

Oh, well. It is Japan, after all. Japanese culture, especially in matters related to sex, is very odd.

Incidentally, if you follow the link, the model turns out to be a fair simulacrum of a slender (very) small-breasted blonde with a pleasant face. I suspect it was used as a dodge to some rule against showing a woman’s breasts on Japanese television.

Scary. I might have to start being like Crocodile Dundee and do a feel test when meeting someone.
