I had only seen the original, too.
They left out their slogan - "Why design when you can imitate AND cut corners!" :lol:

With respect to the ads Kia Canada rec'd complaints from the Montreal Police Brotherhood, the Quebec Police Association, the Ontario Association of Police Chiefs and the RCMP - basically saying they believed the ad to be disrespectful to female police officers.
The creative head of Kia's ad agency (also ex-Ford agency) said that in consumer testing most women thought the female in the ad was "empowered" and although men thought the ad humourous they did not find it demeaning to women.
I think the decision Kia ended up making was to run the racy version after 9:00 pm and the edited one prior.
Personally I think the police have a lot more serious problems to worry about than this.

The fact most of their subcompacts look conspicuously like Subarus? The overrataed engines (also a Hyundai trait, apparently)? The fact their own executives are really raging criminals?
I have no love for Kia.

I think that the reality is, you're not gonna get to have fun with a female cop in a fricken Kia....unless she's you're wife or something...lol
Kia Commercial - euro_zx5 - 03-09-2007
:lol: That is a hilarious edit!

Gah, the PC police strike again.... I may have thought the ad was stupid but it didn't deserved to get lobotomized like that either <_<
