Kia Motors' New Target Audience: Pedophiles!

I guess there are other ways you can interpret that advertisement but it is a little too suggestive to be in good taste. Doesnt make much sense that they made this in English for a Portugese market... Or did I read it wrong?

The cutie has no belly-button. Did you notice that?

imo, its a photoshop fake.

I see quite a few Kias around here when I go shopping. Ki Ki Ki Kiaaaaa,,,,, cuhulin

She's a rubber toy?

They have a couple of cool cars, but I won't drive anything labeled "Killed In Action"...

I lean in that direction too, Paul. A Brasilian ad agency wouldnt publish an ad in English for a country of over 200 million Portugese speakers.

When I lived in Brasil, I dont think there WAS an age of consent for sex. It is said to be 14 years old now. When I was there, they told me it was 30 kilos. Definitely a different culture, and they live with it and enjoy it quite well.

And so it appears to be. Except that the image itself has no information in it that would identify the creator or creator program. Such a stripped file is deliberately made that way in order to avoid giving clues as to who might have produced it.

Here's a statement from Kia that appears to address this ad:

Interesting statement "We sorta know about it. We haven't done business with them. We won't put this ad in the United States. We will be talking to them."

A few caveats there....

As you would imagine from a country that is not as obsessed with sex as the united states. I guess it's because there are so many who don't get any. What a land of misery.

Yeah, I got news for you: brasil is not a united states dominion. Or so I would hope.

******** Now you HAVE confused me. Brasil isnt a miserable land at all. There is poverty, of course, and the other inconveniences that come with a country struggling with its economy. But the Brasilian people have the best outlook, best humor, of any people in South America.

And if there is anyone there who "isn't getting any", it is his or her own fault.

Probally more Jobs in Brazil/Brasil too.

To complete the mystery, the latin American country spells the name "Brasil".. Americans use the spelling "Brazil"

It is a fine country with wonderful resources.

OK, Brasil it is.I will try to keep that in mind. cuhulin

I was referring to the united states, not brasil. I'll reserve my judgement about brasil until I visit it, if ever.

It's just a goofy add, not a conspiracy. Ben
