Ford Motor Company's really sick ads!

[Ninong]

Ford Motor Company's U.K. ad agency, Ogilvy & Mather, created this sick ad showing a cat being decapitated by the sunroof of one of their newest models:

http://www.apqx89.dsl.pipex.com/Cat.mpg Ford claims they rejected the cat ad as "too extreme."


After receiving an avalanche of complaints from cat lovers, they changed the ad to one featuring a pigeon. I guess they figured not as many people would be fond of pigeons:

http://homepage.mac.com/redmonkey/drivein/ Ford approved this ad.


Ford claims they didn't authorize the release of the cat commercial and, besides, there was no real cat involved, it was all computer animation: http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp...nguage=printer

Ninong you are right it is sick.... But I must admit I did chuckle....

thats not sick at all... i think its funnier than a football bat!!

I laughed my arse off at that ad!

We must remember that what makes one person cringe makes another person laugh heartedly!

To tell you the truth, even though I think both ads are in poor taste, I did find the pigeon ad a little bit funny. I didn't think the ad with the cat was funny at all. That one was just sick.
