Weird Unofficial Toyota Ads: "Well, at least he drives a Prius"

Tired of the same old ads that try to convince you that you are saving the Earth by driving a hybrid (newsflash: You're not. It's just less bad than most other cars available right now, and that's important, but lets keep things in perspective)? Well, these are certainly different. One shows a man getting rid of a body (composting it?) near a lake, with the caption: "Well, at least he drives a Prius." Another shows a man with a woman who we can assume is a prostitute, with the same text. The last one is a bit more ambiguous: Either it is a father who disapproves of his daughter's boyfriend but "at least he drives a Prius", or his wife is cheater on him with a hybrid-driver. You can see the other two lower in this post.
AutoblogGreen has been told by Toyota that they are not official, but "the work of an art director who is apparently trying to promote himself." Kudos to him or her! Few ads will be this talked about, probably.
::Well, at least he drives a Prius, via ::"Well, at least he drives a Prius" puts the bad taste into unofficial ads
