    Chrysler must have a load of Nitros and Sebrings to get rid of, they're trying to sell them over here like crazy. Their latest attempt involves electrocuting a dog. The ad was pulled after complaints. You might still be able to see it (YouTube).

    Uh....in what way was this supposed to sell this car? That it's dog pee proof? I hope they also fired the ad men that came up with that after they pulled it.

    Thanks. That has got to be the most idiotic commercial I ever remember seeing, and I am not a dog lover.

    That model has just been released here in Australia.
    The commercial has a black Nitro parked on a deserted City street and a remote-controlled bomb-inspection robot sidles up to it, raises its robotic arm carefully over the roof and very carefully drops a parking ticket under the wiper without touching any part of the vehicle! Very clever.
