LA auto dealer beats Donald Trump piñata on TV spot

This TV spot for an Los Angeles auto dealer stars a couple of guys beating a Donald Trump piñata to a pulp (or a pulpier version of pulp).

From Auto News:

The video spot by Van Nuys Nissan features a piñata marketed as a "Donald Trump piñata," complete with yellow hair and a business suit. The Trumpudo piñata has become a novelty and symbol of protest and outrage in Hispanic communities after Trump's comments.

After store managers hit the piñata, Van Nuys General Sales Manager Martin Cuevas declares, Aqui en Van Nuys Nissan, los Latinos mandan. (Translation: "Here at Van Nuys Nissan, Latinos rule.")

Nissan North America released the following statement about the TV spot:

"We find these advertisements to be neither responsible or respectful, and we do not condone what they represent. We expect our dealers to establish advertising that is responsible and respectful and represents the best interest of the Nissan brand."

Nissan added that it "respects the right of both individuals and private businesses to practice free speech in a responsible and respectful manner."

(Thanks, Todd!)
