The Kardashian sisters have been the subject of much spoof material.
But the latest offending item is not one Kourtney, Kim and Khloe are taking lightly.
The
reality star siblings have confirmed they will be taking legal action
after an image from an advertising agency working on Ford’s Figo car
showed them bound and tied in the trunk of a vehicle.
n a statement
obtained by omg! INSIDER from their family attorney regarding the
controversial Ford Motor Company advertisement, they said: ‘The “leave
your worries behind” Ford ads are disgusting, vile and offensive to all
women.
It is unacceptable that Ford would align itself with an ad
agency that would so carelessly release these ads. The Kardashians do
not take this lightly and they are exploring all of their legal
options.’
Posters for the compact sedan were uploaded to the internet
featuring notable personalities, including reality TV starlet Paris
Hilton and disgraced Italian politician Silvio Berlusconi, smiling with
glee at seeing their rivals, bound, gagged and stuffed in the car's
trunk.
The images were supposed to advertise the sedan's spacious
cargo area but Ford has since issued an apology and chastised the
outside ad agency who publicized the artwork.
The drawings were developed by a young creative team at JWT India, an advertising firm owned by the WPP Group.
They
were uploaded to the AdsOfTheWorld website without agency or client
authorization, a spokesperson for JWT told the MailOnline.
