CAT LOVERS, LOOK AWAY... NOTHING TO SEE HERE!

Continuing our theme of totally whacked online videos (see yesterday's post for the first offering), an advertising agency in the United Kingdom prepared an ad campaign for the Ford Motor Company which didn't go over too well with the company's executives or cat lovers. The proposed television ad for the new Ford Sportka depicts the sub-compact car as a carnivorous, cat-beheading vehicle. WARNING NUMBER ONE: Cat lovers may want to look away, "nothing to see here," trust me! WARNING NUMBER TWO: If you're dead set on watching the clip, make sure the volume on your machine is turned up, and, you may need to give it up to a minute to load (depending on your connection). In either case, you've been forewarned.

Oh, and just for the record, I really do love cats!

OK, I just laughed that uncomfortable-not-sure-what-I-Just-saw laugh. That was distrubing. I don't like cats...I don't, but WHO thought people would buy a car because of that campaign?

That's just sick! I think I'm gonna puke. And yes, I do like cats. Poor kitty :o( Whoever thought up that ad has some serious mental problems. (Guess I shouldn't have watched the clip).
