Completely by accident I watched the local news today. When they talked about how Ford was outraged their advertising company had created an authorized and controversial Internet ad I of course had to find it for myself. And since I spent so much time looking for it (and found, as of now, a live link for it) I figured I might as well make a blog entry out of it.
The ad is controversial, at least to American viewers, because it depicts a cat decapitation. And Ford has been forced to strongly disassociate itself. “We find this unauthorized ad totally unacceptable and reprehensible,” says a spokesman, “and deplore the fact that it has been unofficially issued.”
Interested yet?
Here’s a link that is, as I said, active for now.
And, for good measure, here’s a link to another Ford / animal encounter.

Holy crap! I still laughed, however.
Internet, what have you done to me?!

This one might be more palatable since it stars a pigeon rather than a beheaded kitty.
