A Toyota Prank Gone Wrong

Last year, one of Toyota’s Ad Agencies promoted the new Matrix with pre-typed emails from wacky characters. One of those characters was called “Sebastian Bowler,” made up by agency Saatchi&Saatchi, who’s apparently on the run from the law with his pet pit bull. Well, Amber Duik didn’t think this was funny – and is suing the advertisers.

According to a report on this incident: A series of emails from “Bowler” to Duik led her to believe this guy, who she didn’t know, was planning on using her house as a place to crash as the heat blew over from his latest escapades. Naturally, Ms. Duik didn’t think this was terribly amusing, and since she’s from California, where everything must be blown out of proportion, she claims to have been “constantly in tears and shaking and sobbing in emotional distress” because of this “terror marketing campaign.” Accordingly, she’s suing Saatchi&Saatchi for an undisclosed sum.
