Tasteless use of cat in advertising

If you think this commercial was funny then you are truly a disgusting
person. I worry greatly about any animal that encounters you. That
commercial was not funny at all.

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.

Give me a break. I have two cats and love them dearly. I've had dozens of
pets and cared for them far better than most people.

There are also *people* I love too, and sometimes I think the fake killing
of *people* is funny too!

Imagine! Something fake can be *funny! WOW!

Give me a break, it's a great commercial. Have a sense of humor. Have you
never laughed at someone slipping and breaking their leg in a movie, no
matter how undeserving?

Karen Chuplis dumped this in news:BC9A2547.25145%

I certainly wouldn't
buy a Ford product now.


You really have to wonder about marketing techniques these days. I read
that it was an "idea" because they were marketing "the ka's evil twin" and
not meant to go into "print". But in the same way Janet Jackson's PR stunt
went wrong, this did too. Viral email, my ass. They know contraversial
content, especially video, runs rampant through email and they were
counting on it.

No. I think anyone who laughs at something like that gives support to it
that it is clearly ok to abuse an animal. It was not a great commercial and
I clearly wonder about people who think beheading a cat is funny. It was
disgusting!

Trademark infrigment, defamation, probably others. Parody is
protected, but you are supposed to make it clear it's a parody.

Although the commercial is real, it would still pass as a parody if it were
not. Producers of parodies need not make any announcement to that effect.
