Ford Sportka Commercial... WTF?! Must see video!

[Panther_Black_VX]

As Conan Obrien says that is the kind of funny that makes you go

"Hahahahahahaaaaawwwww that's just not right!"

(The laugher fades out as the conscience fades in..)

I thought they were wickedly funny...

OK... are you serious?! We are talking about a CGI created ficticious commercial... your talking about ACTUALLY killing a living thing... am I over-reacting to your comparison? I in NO way condone killing a cat... I have two of the wonderful little getting-under-my-gimp-***-leg flee-bags... and ya know what... I'd NEVER hurt them and would inflict punishment to match anyone who was to harm them... or ANYONE elses pets for that matter. If your trying to play devil's advocate... kewl... but if your trying to put the two on the same level... I think your a little bit off. Poor taste commercial(s) sure but I am SURE there was NO harm done to the cat... if there was ever even a cat on that car! Geesh!

TTYL!

Great ad! The pigeon one is my fave, but this one is wickedly good as well. Reminds me of a time when common sense ruled the day and people could laugh an honest laugh, like before they started editing Bugs Bunny cartoons because they were supposedly too violent.

"We must protect our children" from that sort of thing, Bug's Bunny and the Three Stooges...................not!

I thought it was rather amusing

I just went back and forth with the moderator over on LS2.com... I had PMed him asking why I would be banned... when there is a warning at the entry of the Bar-N-Grill forum over there... it says that there might be offensive material... WTF?! They even warned them! ZeusJr (the mod) even cited illegal and unethical actions, attacking a moderator in public forum, and being a troll! I did NONE of those! I bet money that if I had posted the bird video over there, I wouldn't have gotten ANYTHING but laughter! No ban or nothing! Not even so much as a warning! Its all because of a cat got a CGI decapitation! Geesh! I'm fuming now!

Soooo... anyway, I think I need to PM the moderator again... with a link that one and ask if I would get banned for that... what do yo think the reply will be? I'll post back later... He'll probably give a permanent ban... even though I have been posting on LS1.com for YEARS and now been reading and posting on LS2.com... dang Nazi's! I just don't understand sometimes.

Sounds like the problem is that the mods are just a bunch of *******!

Wow, nice first post there, buddy... troll maybe here?

Wow, I can't believe the auto-censor let you say *******!!

Anyway, I thought it was pretty funny. It's ALWAYS funny to see Americans pissed off at or criticizing the European way of life. They don't drive big V8s or hugely high horsepowered cars over there (most aren't anyway)... that's just the way it is. We see something like this and we're like, "Jeez, my Capri has more hp than that, and can beat it 0-60". Why is that always the best feature in a car?

Besides that, Europeans are so much more lax in their dealings with censorship. Many things wouldn't be such a big deal over here if we didn't freak about them YEARS ago... you think the French or Italians gave a damn when they saw Janet Jackson's boob on American news?

Grampa say: If you gonna’ kill sumpn’ you ought to eat it!

Well I don't think the Europeans are all that, and it isn't just about horsepower. They drive around in little tin cans, which isn't too bright considering HOW they drive. At the Arc d'Triumph in Paris there are about 8 streets converging right there, and no traffic lights. Gets interesting. But anyway...

Heck, in Paris you can turn on the TV in primetime on a non-pay-per-view channel and see someone giving it to someone else, and they zoom in real close and you can see EVERYTHING - it sure isn't that fake Cinemax sex. I'll say this - it oughta a helluva lot less offensive to see two people making love than killing each other if you ask me, but which one do most people flip out over? Sex is something a lot of people cheapen and I think that is a sad state of affairs, but I also don't see what the big friggin' deal is sometimes. Nudity is just not a big deal in some countries and some times I think that just maybe that would create less problems rather than more.

P.S.- We need an evil VX clip.

Well I like birds a heck of a lot more than cats, but even I have to admit that the cat one was much more shocking and graphic and horrifying than the bird one. The bird one just seemed more like reasonable force used in self defense, whereas the cat one just felt like gratuitous violence for the sake of torture and killing, and I can see the cat one inspiring kids to try it at home, where the bird one lacks that element. I have to agree they went to far with that.... I'd rather see the people having sex than killing of animals.

Here. here!! I seconded that proposal!

i must be getting old. i've seen the "viral" commercial online a few days ago and was strangely disturbed. i would have thought it hillarious if it had been a cartoon. but it was way to realitic for me.

[redline]

Way to Senstive here in the USA.In N.Korea the cat would be on the dinner table. Ate some dog when I was over there .I love Cat's and Dogs-just not in my tummy.

Bah, this is the reason kids are gunning down kids these days. No sense of consequence. Throughout known history children have played army, cops 'n robbers, cowboy 'n indians etc., and that play started getting the notion in their heads if you shoot someone they die. Cartoons like Bugs Bunny, Road Runner, Tom 'n Jerry etc. did the same thing. You whack someone over the head with a big mallet, it's gonna hurt. Yeah, you laugh at it, but it gets in your psyche. Corporal punishment in schools: You do something wrong or stupid you get your butt paddled or for you parochial kids your knuckles rapped. Plus the embarassment of waiting for the punishment, going to the office, public punishement etc.

Now kids get "time out" or some non-sensical garbage that imparts nothing to a child but the idea of no serious consequence for bad actions. Entertainment is so bland and PC it appears life is all pastel choices and everyone wins. Not much reinforcement for the hormonally imbalanced thought processes coming down the pipe on the adolescence train.

Yeah, Americans like to bash Europe. But we've become what Europe was when our ancestors bailed that country for its oppression. Now, when Americans see something they think they don't like watch out! All the entitlement factions and such get revved up and it's time to kick someone's butt for thinking for themselves.

I caught part of a show recently that examined the average American sheep-mentality. They had someone go around a protest where they were calling for a ban of bio-engineered crops. This person was getting signatures to ban the use of hydrogen oxide, stating where it was being used and what processes it supported. It was amazing how many people signed on and decried the un-regulated use and proliferation of hydrogen dioxide. Unreal. Hydrogen oxide is WATER.

Sorry, had to rant a bit, found out people were believing commercial news again.

i still see nothing wrong with killing a FAKE cat. do you people watch tv ? they kill people in movies all the time. and the graphics are getting better and better. it looks like they are really killing them. i watched texas chainsaw massacre the other night ,and when the lady shoots herself in the head it looks real. but thats ok ? what ? come on the cat is fake. shawn
