Ska's Evil Twin

Remember that commerical? The one where the curious cat got its demise (though it was all CG). It was hilarious! (so some PETA people were POd. So?)

I'm sure this is more insensitive, with terrorist attacks being suicial bombers, but to take humor in it and such...why NOT make a car that contains the explosion? (ok physics aside...and costs...its shows creativity).

Get it out on the net, and more peeps will see it than a premiere! WTG-

It's a Great Car Commercial

Compared to the dull crap that passes for car ads on television these days, this ad was a good laugh. I'm no PETA type, but the other referenced cat-killer ad was so disgusting I nearly threw up.
