Proton Balik Kampung Community Service Message

Advertisement

Proton LogoThis is a community service message ad from Proton (or at least it appears to be) for the upcoming Hari Raya balik kampung season.

Humour always works. Of course, let’s all not just laugh at the video, we have to actually take the advice given too, otherwise it’ll all be in vain! Thanks to Daniel Gomez for sending me the video.

    Aiya… why local pontianak so lousy one?

    A real vampire will lure victims and hypnotize them first before feasting on the blood.

    Proton Juara should be used instead. It’s really scary and fugly, even the vamp will run her a$$ off.

    A good reminder to all of us to strap at the back. However the producer of this video should do some homework on the windscreen impact acceptance, it gives me the impression that Waja windscreen is not strong enough.

    Holy shit !! Hahaha….good one. Well, moral of the story, it tells us ghosts are actually not that spooky and scary thing. They are rather cool or fool just like human beings.

    Moral of the story:
    Human: Do not drive Waja at kampung road during night times, you will possibly meet the ghost because they love Waja :p
    Ghost: Do not kacau female human driving Waja at night time, otherwise you will ended up in hurt you head :p

    joking lah ok?

    September 28, 2007 @ 11:14 pm

    Well actually in real world.. i think the glass would be shattered, crack into pieces and fall out… This is just an ad, if real ghost should can move over or into objects without problem. It just a safety road campaign, even seating behind passenger are recommended to tie their seatbelt.. Well i like the fat pontianak lolz..

    Aiyaa, i’m only joking laa bout the ABS thing. No need to be so serious bout it. Just fasten ur seatbelts and drive safely.

    Pontianak a new ‘mascot’ for Proton? Dulu memanglah Proton pun macam Pontianak, hisap darah orang yang beli Proton. :) But now with stiff competition, hopefully everything will change. Persona at RM46k and new Saga rumored to be RM28k. This will be truly a Rakyat’s Car a.k.a. People’s Car a.k.a. VolksWagen?

    ROFL! Damn! That Waja was fast on reverse! Funny ad, definitely the best I’ve seen from them, kudos to Proton! Doesn’t say good things about the Waja’s windshield though :p

  28. bestofamat said,

    September 29, 2007 @ 12:04 pm

    hahaha….. so funny,…. previous proton’s add too serious, know they have some humours… heehe:D

  29. amad_a said,

    September 29, 2007 @ 12:51 pm

    haha… funny!!
    bottom line is: please wear seatbelt..even though you’re seating at the back..
    if i’m not mistaken according to research, without wearing seatback, the rear occupat will give an impact of about fourty times more of his/her body weight to the front occupant.

    drive safely~
