In the aftermath of internationally-publicized horrid rape crimes
and just as the Indian parliament enacts anti-rape legislation,
Ford unleashes an ad campaign featuring celebrity bondage images, like this one:
That’s Silvio Berlusconi, leering at a trio of "party girls."
Here's another one, in which Paris Hilton seems to have kidnapped the Kardashian sisters.
Apparently sensibilities in India, at least in the case of some Ford marketing partners, are downright lascivious at times. Case in point are a new series of print ads, presumably touting the vast cargo capacity of the Ford Figo hatchback, that involve more than a whiff of T&A, S&M and other sexy abbreviations.
In all seriousness, the advertising campaign is taking some major heat in the Indian press for being outrageously sexist. All three images – which seem to be produced by a graphic artist with some Heavy Metal work in his/her portfolio – show bound and gagged people stuffed into the Figo's boot.
With a tagline reads, "Leave Your Worries Behind." one version features a peace-sign throwing Silvio Berlusconi holding hostage three buxom and barely clad women, all wearing ball gags with hands and feet bound.
Charming.
