Advertising

Advertising is supposed to sell us stuff, but in todays world their biggest challenge is to first get our attention.
That makes for some pretty bizarre, and often offensive, ads.

Case in point, Ford has been apologizing for JWT India's latest campaign for the Ford Figo in India.
Especially the one showing former Italian Prime Minister and world class scumbag, Silvio Berlusconi, hauling hookers.

There's less outrage, but Ford's apologizing anyway, for the Hilton and Schumacher ads.

Does that mean it's OK for women to tie up women, and men tie up men?
