ACTION ALERT:
Suburban Auto Group "Trunk Monkey" Ads
March 19, 2004
An auto dealer in Sandy, Oregon is running a series of ads that pretend to be for a new "safety" device for their autos. This "device" is a chimpanzee who thwarts attempted vehicle thefts. Please let the Suburban Auto Group know that representing a critically endangered species as a cute little joke just isn't funny.
