Cars are bad, mmkay…
And that's why a new French law will require car commercials to "display messages that encourage walking, cycling, carpooling or public transit."
I'm not joking.
Very serious stuff right here.
Like, we'll let you advertise your carbon-emitting vehicle, but you must display this little message here that encourages people to pursue alternative forms of transportation.
Deal?
Deal.
Such a joke!
Much like the "Please enjoy responsibly" disclaimers on ads for alcoholic beverages, or health warnings on cigarette packaging, car commercials will be required to display messages that encourage walking, cycling, carpooling or public transit.
These messages include "For short trips, choose to walk or cycle," "Think about carpooling," and "Take public transit daily"...
The messages must be written in an "easily identifiable and distinct" space on screen, followed by the hashtag #SeDéplacerMoinsPolluer, which translates to "Move without pollution." For radio ads, the messages must be spoken immediately after the advertisement.
This will definitely help curb carbon emissions.
Definitely!
Oh, and the car companies better take this seriously, because these folks ain't messin' round.
If a car company doesn't display these messages in their commercial, it will result in a fine of up to €50,000.
LOOK OUT, CAR COMPANIES!!!
They're coming for ya!
France also passed sweeping new climate regulations last summer that would ban certain cars from dense city centres, require automobile manufacturers to disclose the climate impact of their products in their ads and eventually phase out the sale of diesel and gasoline vehicles by 2040.
To me, it's cute that they're forcing car commercials to feature messages encouraging alternative forms of transportation.
Because it won't be long before the French people will be forced to use these "alternatives."
Coming here soon.
Here’s a good ad line that should comply:
Take a walk to your nearest Renault dealer and buy a new car and get healthy at the same time!...................
“Coming here soon.”
Fact.
While many of us see this as complete bafoonery, the indoctrinated see this as their “fight” against the existential threat of climate change. They are serious, and no amount of data or logic will dissuade them.
And wave the white flag of surrender at the same time.
They should require car companies to play “Bad to the Bone” during commercials...
And these are all global corporations that are interlocked together.
Deep States everywhere hate people being able to drive.
Well, the hoi polloi anyway.
The notion that we are free or will remain free is a joke.
Feels like the world needs a new world war so western civilization can get a good kick in the ass to wake them up to what’s really important in life
Remember “LeCar?”
What did pedestrians do for transportation before socialism?
They used cars.
Yes..................
How about a warning with governments?

1982 LeCar commercial
Things in the ad…
Under $5000
Fast trains
France
Stunningly beautiful people with big hair
Snobbish announcer
Oh … the car makes ap appearance too.
Being able to walk is always a necessity if you buy a fine French car (or British car)
Government....
This is what should always come with a warning label. Check out the statistics at a very fine and detailed academic site:
“... the more power governments have, the more human insecurity and violence. In short: to our realization that power impoverishes we must also add that power kills.”

Governments are unhappy with that....
Explains a lot.
