I didn't like the KA adverts, they were just trying to be controversial for the sake of it I think by branding the SportKa the 'evil twin'.

I'm not surprised they didn't get air time, the one with the cat is just horrible, even if you do try to see the 'funny side', which I failed to see myself.

Woah there!!!  :shocked:

When that started i thought the car might growl and scare the cat off or something = funny (well, ish...)
But cutting the cat's head off?!?!

No wonder you haven't seen it before - probably got ditched by the advertising authority!!

I've seen the first one and the pigeon one before, didn't like either and would go along with offensive, like fluffybunny said

it's just putting ideas into morons' heads  >:(

I agree.

I even let birds poo on it

Actually, the debate about having fresh fish in your diet ended for me when someone pointed out what seagull droppings look like.  :sick: :evillaugh:

Yes, thanks - I wipe it off as soon as I see it thanks to someone telling me the same thing a number of years ago.

Love the dancing/singing cat - made up for the horrid KA.  Glad I've got a Vauxhall Astra - don't think they are cruel and I even let birds poo on it and cat's sit (yes, SIT) on it.  :rofl:

well, it's nice to know that Ford has some sense of decency, unlikely, but apparently true ...

The theme is the "Ka's evil twin"

Apparently, Ford rejected it but it was leaked by someone at the ad agency.

The first one is very unfunny and totally pointless at that!

lay me down, let me go, feeling heavy the ground is cold,
lay me down take it slow I'm ready to stumble, sing & then swing low

Edit - He just heard me laying it and said "Did I tell you I got hauled out of class for singing that when I was 6 or 7?"  :evillaugh:

I don't remember seeing this before so I suppose it must have been a cinema one?
