I can only hope that the Brits use standards of not harming animals in
production of advertising like this. Still - address your outrage to Ford
for even protraying it.

I guess it is a real ad idea anyway:

Yeesh. I can believe some dork thought this was "clever" advertising. Glad I
don't own a Ford.

There was another ad in this series for the same car. A pigeon flies down
from a tree across the street and is swatted by the hood of the vehicle
flying up, causing a spray of feathers and the bird landing in the street.
I've got a dark side that will rival anyone's and macabre humor to go with
it. But even I draw the line at harming animals whether real or not.

Ford should be shot for this one! Was that possibly an animotronic cat used
for the head cutoff scene?

You would think it is funny. I guess it shows how disgusting an individual
you are!

Holy cow, I thought it was going to be something mildly amusing.
That's disturbing.

It is but I highly doubt it is really an ad but a clever mock up by

someone
with some digital skill and a mean streak. Ford ought to sue them.


Sue for what?

I love animals of all kinds, and I think the commercial -- real or not --

is
hilarious.
