    Hmm, the title is rather deceptive. It's not a real Nissan ad.
    (I didn't think that Nissan would stoop so low...)

    36 MPG for the Prius?

    A new Prius for $14,500?

    11 shots from a handgun?

    I don't think this is a serious Nissan commercial because it would cause some questions Nissan would be forced to answer:
    - Does Nissan sell a car averaging more than 36mpg?
    - Does Nissan sell a comparable car for only $14,500?
    - Where can I buy a "magical handgun"?

    For starters, move out of Chicago.

    It is magic only if it is a revolver.

    Followups should probably be moved to FHOP.

    Maybe it was not meant to be an automobile commercial. Maybe it was a commercial intended to prey upon people's emotions and eliminate the 2nd Amendment...

    Have you guys ever noticed that our government passes the worst laws when the Congress and Executive Branches are in an emotional frenzy?

    I'm torn about which is more funny. Whether it's how few who seem to not recognize the two comedians ... or whether it's how few haven't seen this joke vid reposted then reposted again & again.
    :D

    Boy! that must be some semi auto that will hold 33 rounds (with 1 in the pipe). Just how long is that clip.
    I'm sure not gonna mess with you!
