Default Dear Scion, thanks for the comic...

I recently opened my mailbox and was suprised to see a 'package' from you. With excitement, I raced into the house to open it up. As I tore through the clear plastic wrapper, all joy vanished from my face. You sent me a comic book. A comic book trying to sell me products for my car. And a confusing plastic key blank.
First of all... the comic. Is that the best your marketing team could come up with? I know these cars are marketed towards young adults, but come on. That was a low blow. I'd like to think I am worth more than a cheap comic. For your information, I fed the comic into the paper shredder.
Second of all... the confusing plastic key. Here is a hint... make clearer directions. What the heck do you do with it? Take it to the dealer and have them cut it, then keep it in your wallet? I'm not retarded and I will never lock my keys in my car. Certainly not with keyless entry.

Maybe I was the only one who found this to be offensive. A stupid comic book trying to sell me the horrible Scion accesories was in very poor taste. Maybe it was 'bring your child to work day' and Mark, the VP of marketing, brought his 8 year old son to work who happens to be an aspiring comic book artist.

Mark, leave your kid at home next time.

Let me make sure I understand.

They sent you something for free, and you're complaining about it?

Get over it.

What do you want? A fresh fruit basket and a bottle of champagne? You bought a $16,000 car. You're lucky to get anything for free in the mail.
