The original was hilarious! I don't care for the Soul after test-driving one, but darn if the original ad sure didn't work.
This latest one, meh.
This latest one, meh.
The dancing Kia soul Hamsters are back!

The original one had a hint of smarts to it because the hamsters driving in toasters and washing machines was great parody of brainwashed people mindlessly driving toyotas and hondas.
But this is just annoying. And that kind of lifestyle/culture is nothing to be celebrated. It does nothing good for our country and population.
what about the Chrysler commercial with Eminem? isn't that ghetto rap culture? At the end, I thought eminem was going throw up a gang sign.
the dancing hamsters is all in good fun.

You can't seriously be trying to group that commercial in with the ghetto hampsters?

Im not a fan of that either. I do not like eminem, period.
And these musical "entertainers" just evoke lower and lower class characteristics. Look at the miley cyrus smoking and tattoo reports online. That screams degradation.
You may not agree. That's fine, that's not what we're on here to discuss. Im free to my opinion as you are, and its not the topic of this thread.
As I said, the hamsters in a toaster and washing machine was smart in a way. But using sloppy ghetto style to appeal to people, and trying to make a robot dance number is to me just blah.

Listen to whats being said, is that rap culture? Does this sound like rap culture to you? Look beyond Eminem and listen...
Ad copy...
"I got a question for you. What does this city know about luxury?
What does a town that’s been to [censored] and back know about the finer things in life?
I’ll tell you, more than most!
You see, its the hottest fires that make the hardest steel, add hard work and conviction.
And the know how that runs generations deep in every last one of us.
That’s who we are.
That’s our story.
Now it’s probably not the one you’ve been reading in the papers.
The one being written by folks who have never even been here. and don’t know what we’re capable of.
Because when it comes to luxury, it’s as much about where it’s from as who it’s for.
Now we’re from America – but this isn’t New York City. Or the Windy City. Or Sin City.
And we’re certainly no one’s Emerald City.
This is the Motor City. And this is what we do."
Other than preconceived notions based on the face of the commercial, or those formed around the city itself. I dont see or hear any ghetto rap culture.
OT, I find the rat ads equally stupid compared to the latest Honda Civic ads. What is a "hoodie Ninja"?

I could care less what he does with his life. In that commercial there is no ghetto factor. He is dressed like a normal human being and what is said has NOTHING to do with rap or the ghetto. There is no comparison between the hoodrat hampsters and him in those commercials.

Sometimes you hit a homer on the first try and have no where but down to go. IMHO, after the first commercial, Kia really had nowhere else to go with the hamsters.

The funny part of the commercial to me is the battle droids dancing - one blown half apart. Kia and the hamsters are very much not my demographic but it's just a silly commercial. I'm surprised at the negative reaction to a commercial that just supposed to be a bit funny.

You don't pick Eminem to do a commercial if you don't want to ride on his fame from rapping and white-trashiness.

He's famous and from somewhere in or near Detroit. Could be that, and not his "white trash" that caused them to pick him.

Point is? Is rave/electronic the same sloppy clothing, just different capability of conversing in proper English?
Doesnt look much different to me. Maybe that is a differentiation for those below and above the poverty line?

No the two are very different. For starters their pants aren't on the ground.
It's just some celery munching hamsters, a [censored] Kia, and dancing robots. Pretty funny to me.
