Does Michael Vick drive one of these?
 
2007-07-19 08:57:16 AM
Ookie doesn't see what the problem is.
 
2007-07-19 08:58:00 AM
I can understand why the dog was trying to piss on it

Dodge announces the Michael Vick Edition Dodge Nitro....
 
2007-07-19 08:59:18 AM
You'll never see that ad. Dodge probably had the same reaction to it as everyone else.
 
2007-07-19 08:59:19 AM
Dog had it coming. That said, the charred corpse was a little much.
 
2007-07-19 08:59:50 AM
Is this for real???
Thats just mean...PETA would disapprove
 
2007-07-19 09:00:07 AM
I heard they ran out late last night and filmed this after they heard about the Vick story. Let's put them on the evil corporation list with Walmart and have Dodge bashing threads!
 
2007-07-19 09:00:16 AM
...must be because Dodge loves to promote itself as the vehicle for manly manly men. And we all know that the best way to be manly is to be cruel to small defenseless things, right? Sheesh...

/Dodge seriously needs to do something about those ugly-ass grilles, too.

This reminds me of the Ford Sportka internet commericals

The people who were raised on Looney Tunes are now in charge of advertising companies, and they're having a lot of trouble understanding why the majority of the world can't discern humorous fantasy from reality.
 
2007-07-19 09:01:10 AM
All it needs now is a number 7 painted on the door and a vantiy plate with the name Ookie or Ron Mexico on it and it will be perfect...
 
2007-07-19 09:01:41 AM
This is Bad Newz for Dodge.
 
2007-07-19 09:01:43 AM
Bad dog. No steak.
 
2007-07-19 09:02:23 AM
I was hanging in there after the first electrical jolt and the dog yelping, but then it was on its back with its leg twitching, and MORE lightning came out of the stupid Dodge and turned the dog into a charred corpse, so...jesus farking christ, guys! wtf!?
 
2007-07-19 09:03:19 AM
WTF were they thinking?

Right...

/wait, what?

Would've been funnier if a couple of Koreans came out afterwards with a knife and fork

/what? They eat dogs.
 
2007-07-19 09:05:08 AM
I'm going to have to watch the Sony Bravia ad with the pretty bouncing balls a few times to get the stain off
 
2007-07-19 09:05:23 AM
Dodge=Shiat.

Supercheeks: Bad dog. No steak.

Bad dog IS steak. Medium well.

It's not what I want to see in a TV ad, but is this really much different from an Emperor hitting Luke Skywalker with lightning?
 
2007-07-19 09:06:08 AM
GreatNOD: They eat dogs.

Kae-gogi. That shiat is good, too.
 
2007-07-19 09:07:01 AM
Not really offensive, just stupid. Like Dodge products. Every time I see one of those uber-macho hunks of shiat on the road - like the Magnum especially - I think they'd have done just as well to name it the Dodge "Testicle." Seems like their executives get their ideas about new vehicle names by perusing the men's deodorant aisle.
 
2007-07-19 09:07:05 AM
Thats just stupid. Using that much electricity would drain the battery for sure.
 
2007-07-19 09:07:15 AM
camelclub: You'll never see that ad.

But... I just did... please don't go all space-time continuum on me this early in the morning.

I don't remember Luke smoking as much as the dog did in the ad

Hey subby, my friend Justin just called and left me a message to give you.

Shoulda used Calvin from Calvin and Hobbs. You know, like a real-life version of those ubiquitous stickers.
 
2007-07-19 09:09:16 AM
that COULD have been cute it the dog got shocked then cut to it doing the wet dog shake and walking away.

showing a charred carcass maybe not so much.

/still want that car
 
2007-07-19 09:09:32 AM
Man...Now I'm hungry...

Stupid Floppy Clownshoes: Every time I see one of those uber-macho hunks of shiat on the road - like the Magnum especially

I used to REALLY want one of those... until I saw one up real close in a showroom. It's just a ginormous stationwagon with a big engine that I'd have trouble parking. But dayum it looks nice.
 
2007-07-19 09:10:35 AM
What, no "Your dog wants rubber-soled shoes" in the headline?
 
2007-07-19 09:10:37 AM
From the folks who brought you the Neon...the best car ever made. ever.
 
2007-07-19 09:11:09 AM
ShadowPenguin: /still want that car

I think there's something wrong with the electrical system

/don't get a flat tire
 
2007-07-19 09:12:48 AM
I can has eletrocushion?
 
2007-07-19 09:13:05 AM
Until I read TFA, I was thinking "Why would an ad for a roller coaster show a dog being electrocuted?"

He was smoking, or his clothes were (I think). Not charred, though. That part's why I wouldn't want to see it in a broadcast ad.
 
2007-07-19 09:15:16 AM
The dog isn't DEAD. The Nitro had the phasers set to stun. duh

/ok, knows the dog is just PLAYING dead
 
2007-07-19 09:15:56 AM
It would have been funnier if it ran the dog over. Then no one would question the douchebaggage associated with the brand.
 
2007-07-19 09:18:06 AM
I love the ad. That is some funny shiat.

The car it advertises is ugly as sin though.
 
2007-07-19 09:18:17 AM
The sad thing is that FARK just helped contribute to a successful PR campaign that Dodge gets to deny they published.

Can you name the truck with four wheel drive,
smells like a steak and seats thirty-five..

Canyonero! Canyonero!

Well, it goes real slow with the hammer down,
It's the country-fried truck endorsed by a clown!

Canyonero! (Yah!) Canyonero!
[Krusty:] Hey Hey

The Federal Highway commission has ruled the
Canyonero unsafe for highway or city driving.

Canyonero!

12 yards long, 2 lanes wide,
65 tons of American Pride!

Canyonero! Canyonero!

Top of the line in utility sports,
Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts!

Canyonero! Canyonero! (Yah!)

She blinds everybody with her super high beams,
She's a squirrel crushing, deer smacking dog smoking, driving machine!

Canyonero!-oh woah, Canyonero! (Yah!)

Drive Canyonero!

Woah Canyonero!

Woah!
 
2007-07-19 09:21:32 AM
HAHAHA!!! Take that, dog! U R teh suxxorz for p1zzng 0n my r1mz!!!

Seriously, if you read the blurb under the footage, it says "We cried a little". WTF? Do these people not realize that there really was no suffering of any animal when this ad was made, or are they just morans who think it was real?

Seriously, if 30 seconds bothers these people, they should also be out protesting 90-minute long shiatty torture movies like "captive" or whatever that new Elisha Cu24thbert movie is called.

/don't like the car either.
 
2007-07-19 09:21:52 AM
I find it hard to believe an ad company would put that out in America. What was the actual source of the video?
 
2007-07-19 09:23:16 AM
I liked it for being so bold. Perhaps just a zap to the dog's a*s to shoo it away and then another quick shot, (as the dog looks back to consider a second attempt) that sends it clear out of the frame would be more appealing to a larger, more-sensitive audience.


/BBQ dog = roflbbq

Approves.

Disapproves, but who cares? Look at him, this is his career now.

Gopher Everett:Up until about 2 months ago I worked for the marketing company (BBDO pops) that is responsible for this ad...they're a spectacular group of idiots.

Is this the new "..getting a kick out these replies"?

Fark: Hey, what do you call a kike, a ni&&er, and a Jap in a life raft...

Me: Whu?

Fark: Lighten up, Francis.

Dodge: Let's pretend to barbeque a dog!

Me: LOL!

Fark: Oh noes! Sick! Reprehensible! Boycott!!
