I was wondering if it was a regional thing or a nationwide ad. It really shows the power of advertising, since I scrapped the idea of buying an F150 after seeing the posse of sub-literate shills rapping and using the phrase 'flash your grille'.
I can't imagine that's a nationwide ad, please tell me Ford has more sense than S. Florida...

I'm in Tennessee, have not seen it yet.
Just teh thought makes me cringe.
You wont buy the truck because you don't like the ad???
There's some mighty powerful logic at work, there...

Local used car lot is doing a real Ghetto Ad with some way Chessy bad Rapper trying to rap about comin to his lot today to ride tonight. Really, really low class guy in a headband & his name tat on his arm. It is real bad.
Sorry, I'm afraid it's playing up in Boston.
No worse than D/Cs "Thet thang got a HEMI!?" ads, with the trailer park duo.
F150 has that reputation as the low one in the chain of evolution

I want to throw a brick through the TV when that damn ad comes on. First it was "Rad It Lak A Foad" now it's metal mouth idiots. Makes me want to puke.
Obviously you have no freaking idea why marketing companies make multi-millions of dollars for good national add campaigns...
These advertisements do make or BREAK deals, you think big corporations piss those millions of dollars away for nothing?
we prefer "Manufactured Housing Community"... LOL!
Ahhhhh... life in in the trailer park... but that was years ago... even had a Camaro then... LOL!

It wasn't at the top of my list, it was in there with a cluster of about 5 vehicles. I found the ad pretty reprehensible, in case you hadn't noticed.
BTW, I haven't bought ANY new vehicle yet, so maybe the ad turned me against buying a car altogether. ;)

Haven't seen it in Colorado...yet. God I hope not ever.

They went from that "It isn't a toy" Mustang ad to that?
-- lab~rat >:-) Do you want polite or do you want sincere?
Jim, Would it not be following the SAME logic - if the projected demographic saw the ad, they DID buy the truck?
Just hitting the ball back over the net atcha. ¦¬)

*snip*So quit bitching about it and go gripe at FORD about it.. If you don't like it DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
Unless you tell THEM tha tthey are getting on your last nerve they are going to continue the marketing without knowing that some people find it repulsive.

Whoops, meant to pat you on the back there - my bad.

Kate, if you ever saw that ad you'd be bitching a mean streak as well. That ad and the ones preceding it (the SoFla ones) are the epitome of ghetto marketing. Put 22" Dubs on a car that's worth half as much as the wheels, remove the shocks to get that "bouncy" look, add the mandatory fart can muffler, etc. etc. It's just so _wrong_.
If those ads are coming from corporate, then Ford really does need to die.

I don't remember that one, which is a good thing. Freakin' pimps.
