Saw this on tv awhile ago and has to be one of the worst car commercials I have seen for a long time as it has nothing to do with the car.

You got it all wrong, man. It's the commercial for Halo 3. They'll replace warthogs with KIA SOULS.

That commercial makes me angry. I was watching TV at my mother's house, and it came on way too many times. I think I like the car though, and will have to look into it some time in the future. Of course I wouldn't have to look into it if the fuckin' commercial told me something about the car :^S

I flagged the video as terrorism. The comparison with the Iraq war was disturbingly obvious. I hope our government take care of those hamsters and their subversive indoctrination.

at least the product is in the video unlike the last Droid commercial I saw with some woman fighting a robot...

I really dig those commercials with the hamsters. That one with the Black Sheep song was really hilarious too.

Seriously???

Last weekend, that played before the previews at the movies. I told the person I was with that I though it was some kind of spoof. Like it should have started with a bunch of old guys sitting around a table, pitching their idea of a commercial that the "youngsters" will love.

"Imagine this. It's a post-apocalyptic world. There's a colosseum, and a whole bunch of futuristic robots are shooting eachother up. Then there's a break in the action as a neon green SUV pulls up. And then the hamsters get out.

But these aren't ordinary hamsters. Oh, no. They're super cool hip-hop-hamsters. And they start dancing to "Party Rock" by Lumfayoh. And then the robots are overcome with dance fever. And there's flips. It will be totally rad."

Anyway, are those shoes supposed to be "cool?"

You must not have been able to tell that it was an FPS. Specifically, a parody of Halo.

The first Kia Hamster commercial was better than that one IMHO.

are you talking about the Nike Mag shoes from back to the future II with the power laces?

I thought it was supposed to be Crisis. Didn't look very Halo at all.

Kia has been using those hamsters for a while now. And the Party Rock music video is basically about infecting some post-apocalyptic world with "shuffling" dance fever.

Since when has Crysis ever had a barren wasteland setting? Since when have the soldiers had mirrored face shields? It is supposed to be a generic FPS but it borrows thematically from Halo far more than anything else. Also, look at the weapon designs. Crysis has future versions of current weapons and not crazy sci-fi/alien weapons.

Great, I learned a lot about what the product highlights are, NOT.. I learned it's ugly and artificially funky hamsters love it, I wouldn't drive it to a rockfight..

Lose your mind.
Have a good time.
