Chrysler Press Release:
The following can be attributed to Jason Vines, Vice President - Communications, for the Chrysler Group
Auburn Hills, Mich., Jul 19, 2007 -
"Chrysler Group was dismayed to discover today that an advertisement created by an ad agency supporting our Netherlands Market Performance Center goes far beyond the bounds of what the company considers appropriate. The advertisement for the new Dodge Nitro, recently introduced into the market, which includes fictional yet inappropriate treatment of an animal is in extremely bad taste.
Although European commercials - especially "viral" ads like this one - are often edgier, this one went over the edge. Chrysler Group is investigating the origins of this commercial.
We have requested the viral ad be pulled from YouTube.com."
The Dodge Nitro Commercial is already out of YouTube.com
