And now for something completely different
Ok, Brant, you asked for it, so here you go....not sure what your reaction is going to be, given your current living situation, and place of employment, but, if it's twisted English humour you want, then it's twisted English humour you're going to get.....
(I am not responsible for the content of either of these videos. I don't work for an advertising agency, I don't work for Ford, and I am not British. I do, errrr, drive a Ford, however, but I promise you that it's a good ol' American model, the Taurus. Not an evil piston in her frame)
British television advert - Ford SportKa #1 (the one that Perry sent me via e-mail - blame him! =) )
British television advert - Ford SportKa #2
It is my understanding that at least the cat version never aired, or was pulled almost immediately after it's debut. You can read more about all the hub-bub surrounding these ads out at snopes.
Please, don't shoot the messenger! =)

Oooh nooooo! Hahahaha! Unbelievable that Ford's name is on these.
It's obvious to me that no animals were actually harmed in the creation of these pieces, making it much more like cartoon violence. Thus they're much easier to stomach than the "Funniest Home Videos" where you see animals and people getting seriously injured and an audience is laughing their arses off.
HappyTreeFriends.com is a major source of excellent cartoon violence. Mmm hmmm. Beware, however, for the theme music is highly addictive.
