Those prissy Prius drivers have a dark side A humorous set of fake Toyota Prius ads is making the rounds, putting a dent in the goody-two-shoes image of the hybrid car’s fan base. “Well, at least he drives a Prius,” says the tagline, next to images of guys dumping bodies and picking up hookers.

Please don't post fake ads.

That's like posting fake business plans. It's pointless.

In our defense, we don't post real business plans, either.

The dumping body layout almost looks like a fake Gregory Crewdson photograph. I did say almost. My name is fake, too.

If you want to see fake ads you can look through half of the ads in our annuals.

Hi-

In an act of shameless self-promotion I'd like to submit the credits behind the ads. So if you hate them you'll know exactly who you're spitting on :)
