Funny Car Ads

Don't know whether it's the moon's phase, but a couple of friends have sent me some funny car ads from overseas markets. Neither is particularly new, but both are worth a look.

The first, the Toyota/Jogger/Loch Ness Monster ad has been posted on You Tube for three months. Still, I think it's hilarious and worth re-watching. The especially nice touch is at the end when "Nessie" ... oh, you'll have to watch it yourself.

Why can't we have more ads like this in the U.S. instead of the mindless "zoom, zoom, zoom"; driver on closed course; pavement appropriately sheened types that crowd TV?

Then there's this one from Ford in the UK. It's sure to bring howls in some animal-lover quarters. Watch it but be warned if you love Fluffy ...
