The Headless Cat

Many of us are familiar with Washington Irving’s character the headless horseman as portrayed in the story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.”  Not as many of us are familiar with the Ford SportKa headless cat, though.

“The video clip starts innocently enough: an orange tabby strolling through a suburban neighborhood comes across a small blue automobile parked in a driveway. As the cat watches, the vehicle’s sunroof enticingly slides open; the curious feline hops onto the car’s hood, then runs up the windshield and pokes its head into the open sunroof the see what’s inside. But what happens next is horrifying: the sunroof automatically begins to close again, trapping the cat by its neck. As the tabby struggles furiously to extricate itself, the sunroof lid slices off its head, and the viewer sees the decapitated body slide to the ground.”

My brother sent me a link to the video of this commercial.  It isn’t going to make Ford any friends with cat lovers.  It’s rather audacious, but I must confess, I did chuckle.
