I was reminded this morning of a couple of commercials for the Ford SportKa that I saw online a number of years ago. The SportKa is a Europe-only model that was introduced in 1996, and these commercials were broadcast for only a short time in Great Britain before being pulled because of consumer complaints.

There are two commercials in the linked video (or click here to go to YouTube); the Pigeon and the Cat. The Pigeon is hilarious & gets me every time. The cat is right there on the edge and is a bit twisted; gives me a queasy feeling, even knowing the cat’s demise is entirely computer generated. Hint: Watch the windows.

As for the point of the commercials, the SportKa is supposedly the evil twin to the Ka. The Ka being the wimpy respectable one, and the SportKa… Not so much.
