National Car Rental ad pulled due to activism

Recently National Car Rental had an ad showing John McEnroe smashing a tennis ball into a mans' head for trying to take a car he wanted. I protested the commercial because it continues to promote the idea that inflicting pain on a man is funny. I found out today that the commercial has been permanently dropped because of the protests that were received from viewers. I am glad that others found the ad offensive and that national car rental got the message. -- Dave
