Post by: Den on March 02, 2008, 19:58:17 PM: The first one is very unfunny and totally pointless at that!

Post by: Mark on March 02, 2008, 20:01:21 PM: The theme is the "Ka's evil twin"

Apparently, Ford rejected it but it was leaked by someone at the ad agency.

Post by: blackcat on March 02, 2008, 20:03:18 PM: well, it's nice to know that Ford has some sense of decency, unlikely, but apparently true ...

Post by: maryas on March 02, 2008, 20:58:33 PM: Love the dancing/singing cat - made up for the horrid KA. Glad I've got a Vauxhall Astra - don't think they are cruel and I even let birds poo on it and cat's sit (yes, SIT) on it. :rofl:

Yes, thanks - I wipe it off as soon as I see it thanks to someone telling me the same thing a number of years ago.

Actually, the debate about having fresh fish in your diet ended for me when someone pointed out what seagull droppings look like. :sick: :evillaugh:

Post by: JackSpratt on March 02, 2008, 22:08:52 PM: Have to go with offensive, I think. :sick:

Ahhhh, Hannah. That song gets stuck in my head - I only watched two seconds of it.

Post by: Dawn (DiddyDawn) on March 03, 2008, 00:58:38 AM: I've seen the first one and the pigeon one before, didn't like either and would go along with offensive, like fluffybunny said

Post by: MBll on March 03, 2008, 01:35:48 AM: None of thse videos are funny ...not even anywhere close.

Post by: tpepaul on March 03, 2008, 09:28:17 AM: Woah there!!! :shocked:

When that started i thought the car might growl and scare the cat off or something = funny (well, ish...)
But cutting the cat's head off?!?!

No wonder you haven't seen it before - probably got ditched by the advertising authority!!

Post by: clarenmax on March 03, 2008, 09:33:28 AM: I didn't like the KA adverts, they were just trying to be controversial for the sake of it I think by branding the SportKa the 'evil twin'.

I'm not surprised they didn't get air time, the one with the cat is just horrible, even if you do try to see the 'funny side', which I failed to see myself.
