Ford Succeeds In Giving Us Nightmares With New Ka Spot

This spot is for Argentina and Brazil, this Ford Ka is a redisigned version in Brazil. Uses the old platform, nothing to do with the European version.

I would love to see the marketing study on the effectiveness of this commercial.

@79TA: Was meant to be humor...but it failed I guess...I happen to be of mixed ethnic origin (European, Latin and Native American plus some unknowns), I have a pretty distinct look about me. When a person who I meet for the first time and they ask me what my nationality or what country I am from within the first 5 minutes (that American accent is a dead give away that I wasn't born in Denver...ha!), I become very suspicious about why they are asking. Most of the time that type of person is what I would call a conservative white male. This is my own personal experience...your mileage may vary...

Spain doesn't get that version of the Ka, it's the new South American one. Europe will get a different New Ka next year with Fiat 500 underpinnings.

There's nothing really bad about Fox news except that liberals tend to freak out when any amount of liberal bias is removed.

I dunno, my father is Puerto Rican and watches Fox News. He's not ignorant (he's a retired physician) but I still don't understand why he watches it.

Yea, cultural ignorance is most common among those who habitually watch Fox news . . . that's nice and unfounded. Political leanings really aren't much of an indicator on this issue at all.

Comment on Ford Succeeds In Giving Us Nightmares With New Ka Spot It's is not Mexican. We usually don't like brazilian redesigns, as this new Ka. I think Ford de Mexico will wait for the euro version, as they did with the Focus. The closing phrase in the commercial sounds Argentinian.

@vr6john:
Yeah, it's odd, I was born and raised here and I get asked my nationality. They get annoyed when my response is American from the United States of America (after all, we have the United States of Brazil and United States of Mexico).

Should we write Ka-ptions for the photo? I Ka-n't Th!nk of what else to say. I think I need to find an Escort and Probe her. I told her she's safe from the Crazy Soldier. However, she thinks I just want to be her Defender. She left me for a Ranger in Tacoma, that guy was a real Honqui to boot. So after the emotional Rampage I took El Camino straight to the Paseo, where I really found a Diamante in the rough. Her Tata's were beautiful and she teased me about my Moco. Eventually we settled in Malibu and had our own little Scamps.

Not quite as disturbing as the SportKa ad with the cat and the sunroof.

@vr6john:
Feh, I´ve given up on trying to explain the differences in Spanish speaking countries. Apparently, if you speak Spanish, you´re either Mexican or Cuban or foreign(at least that´s the case in Florida). It would be like thinking Americans are like Australians or South Africans.

This ad reminds me of the Japanese horror movie Battle of the Gargantuans. The huge monsters would pluck up a human, pop it into his mouth, chew a bit, then spit out a bloody bundle of their clothes. I watched this as a kid of around ten on TV, and had nightmares afterward, including one of watching Japanese rubber-monster movies, being terrified, yet unable to turn off the TV or change channels... This ad is rather horrific...

Now I'm going to go put my therapist on speed-dial...
