Ford beheading a cat? Hoax?
« on: April 28, 2004, 06:45:20 PM »
Funny how these hoaxes go. I am sure this is a hoax, but it wasn't presented to me as such. I was told Hey! Did you hear about that Ford UK commercial that got banned?!? As soon as i was told what it was, I KNEW there was no way that was Ford. After watching the video clip and seeing the www.the-eviltwin.co.uk at the end, I knew for a fact I was right.

So, this begs 2 questions?
1) Who did this and why? Just a joke? Whos is www.the-eviltwin.co.uk ? The site is password protected.
2) Why are people so guillable to believe it was really Ford?

For those who have not heard of this yet I have put it up for download, with a warning.

[color=FF0000]WARNING! THE FOLLOWING VIDEO CLIP IS GRAPHIC AND ARGUABLY OF VERY BAD TASTE. IT IS *NOT* FOR CHILDREN OR PEOPLE WHO ARE EASILY OFFENDED. DOWNLOAD AT YOUR OWN RISK[/color]

Moderators: If you feel this is too violent to be linked here, go ahead and remove. IMO it's CGI and not really so borderline, but I'll understand if you feel different.

It is a real advert, although Ford never planned for it be used on TV/cinema etc


i don't believe that one bit. I'll only believe it if there is a clarification directly from Ford. It would be more believable if it was another car company, like Hyundai or Kia. But Ford?!? Henry Ford's would be rolling over in his grave. Naah, his influence is still felt in the company. They are more conservative than that:-)

You can have that Model T in any color, as long as it's black!

Chewing up my bandwith, had to remove it:-) I doubt it was the AO crowd, must have gotten linked to somewhere else.
