What the fu*k is this agency thinking?
Dodge – fire them right now. Yeccccccccccch. Blecch. Disgusting.
UPDATE: The video has been taken down and the official line is “no comment.” Tasteless horror that it was, it won’t be missed. But Dodge people: you need to THINK before you put stuff on the internet. The whole world is watching you.

As a 24-year-old male, I’m probably right in Dodge’s marketing wheelhouse, and that was one of the more stupid ads I’ve seen in a while.
Is this a sick joke? Ick. I don’t understand how this is supposed to sell cars.
BL — That is a very tasteless ad. It’s too bad that animal’s lives are cast aside (even in joking) with such disregard. Makes me ill.
The sad part is that the commercial sucks. How boring and unoriginal!
Far too graphic. Dodge missed the opportunity to use humour; for example, this bulldog could have been turned into a poodle, scared away, etc etc.
And they wonder why people like Honda, Toyota more… when was the last time either ran an ad like this?!
That was crap. I wonder though if it was supposed to tie in somehow to the Transformers movie…. And even if it was, it’s still crap.
And now, from YouTube: “This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by DaimlerChrysler.”
I wonder if I’m sorry I missed it…
Well the geniuses at Chrysler have pulled the ad — “no comment” the official word, but at least it’s gone. You just know they knew the video was posted there all along, and were hoping for positive buzz. Classic duck & cover…
I doubt it had anything to do with the Transformers movie. That was a Chevy promotional film.
