Animal rights wank over controversial car advertisment.
OP's note: the ad link provided is clearly NOT worksafe or animal-safe, and really shouldn't be viewed by the squeamish or small children.

A couple of weeks or so ago, Ford and its advertising agency in the UK, Ogilvy & Mather, produce an advertisement for their newest care, the SportsKa,which is supposed to be a more masculine version to the Ka, which is viewed as a woman's vehicle.

The ad in question depicts a cat climbing onto the car and getting decapitated by the car's sunroof window, but the ad, according to Ford, was never designed to be seen on national TV in the UK. Rather, it was "intended as a 'viral marketing' tactic - designed to be sent via the internet from one individual to another". That doesn't stop the usual critics from expressing their outrage over the ad.

Enter the animal_rights community at LiveJournal, a breeding ground for decent animal-rights-related wankery, especially when it comes to people's dining habits, but that's wank for another day.

Uberczech gets wind of the controversial ad, and posts it in animal_rights and the members react with predictable outrage.

It's all small, very neat and very compact.

Is it wank? Probably not.

But is it whiny? Oh yes.

And a good example of just how over-predictable the animal rights people are over ads that were (bad taste or no) intended to be humorous (I should know; I used to be an animal rights supporter and I know first-hand just how over-sensitive they can be).
