EcoBoost fools a Cane Toad - Humour

[1TUFFUTE]

absolutely amazing stuff from ford....laughing our heads of big time...soo funny....will have to spam that one around friends for sure.

hey they could team up with the queensland maroons add campaign...NOT THEY NEED IT...BWAHAHA

[dave351cid]

ha. lol... i love it. got me laughing.

enviroment add for a car. very smart. educating people about the bloody cane toad and promoting their squashing while planting some info in your mind about their new car. great new approach.

i normally feel bad if i hit any animal with a vehical but i go out of my way to run over cane toads.

[QUOTE=Cheese3]stupid ad, arn't we ment to be selling cars? 90% of the aussie public don't listen to ads. Aslong as it has loud noise, great shots/veiws of the car and exhaust note it works, eg Thunder ute ad.

To a certain very tight non discerning thick as pigshit demographic , definitely NOT the target demographic Ford will be chasing with Ecoboost Falcon . Do we really need Ford to get in the gutter with such catchlines as na na na na na .

[wrongwaynorris]

Just waiting for some uptight dogooder to complain that it promotes drug use .

It's called Viral Advertising. they spread like a virus across the internet, and a wide audience will have seen it in six months. some of the clever viral ads even end up in places like Mythbusters (eg 'explosive surfing' or 'wrecking ball newton's cradle' were both created by advertising companies).

I think FoA will get worldwide publicity with this ad.

Keep the Youtube ads coming guys. You're good at it. Keeps us laughing too. You need a Youtube Territory ad now.

MUCH better than fingers walking....but the Greenies won't be happy!!!! love it!!

[99AUXR]

This form of advertising is way more powerful allot of major brands for anything don't advertise on tv anymore.

[Brazen]

Let's hope a dogooder minority group puts in a complaint, so that it hits the 6 o'clock news and that will be free advertising for Ford!

Maybe we should all write to Current Afair and compalign about the cruelty to the poor defenseless Cane Toad

Reminds me of the Sport KA ads from years ago! I like it! Ford UK got a lot of publicity when they did those ads (and that was before the Social Media boom)

Because the KA should never be shown in public?

2 reasons .....

Context of the discussion

Mod discretion

While this thread has a theme based on humor, the other thread is based on how many ways to slice cats ......

[Nikked]

Everyone doing their bit to spread it?

[Chopped]

+1 to Ford for trying the Viral Ad campaign.

If you click the little graph window on Youtube...



It will show how these things go viral....



You can see it started at Twitter and progressed from there.
It's not Viral yet though. It needs to be posted on high traffic sites.

Excellent. The more complainers the better. I wonder if Topgear will air it.

[SM1DY]

I like that Ford are doing something different for the Falcon, but I didn't find it even slightly amusing. Now the monkey that sticks its finger in its butt and faints after smelling it, that's funny

Well you posted 8hrs ago and it was 59,700. Now it is 64,400 views. Decent, but not spectacular stats. Hopefully it can hit 150,000 in a weeks time.

PS Had a good laugh

If 90% of the aussie public do not listen to ads, why is there so much discussion on the subject on the lack of advertising? Ford must be doing things right then? Bit hard to make a loud ad about the EcoBoost ......

Not endorsed by Ford? It was posted posted by fordofaustralia. And it had official ford logo at the end with the web address.

I'd say it's a another branch off by the 'Driven By Falcon' campaign.
