Generally speaking, I think advertisements have dropped in quality over the years. The young blood they are bringing in today have the vision and foresight of about 2 ft. past their desk.

I would really like to see the emails myself to see if either Toyota was too far out there or if she was too naive. Either could happen. In her favor, I would not expect a company that has been promoting Earth, Nature and Humanity to pull out this kind of garbage.
