Creepy

I understand that Ford is trying to drag themselves out of a little hole, but something about this extreme marketing - gives me the heebies.

If you don't feel like reading the entire article, skip directly to the fake people and their target cars.

Oh - and their "names" - Greg, Phil, Rick and Mike. Only white males with four letter names buy Ford SUVs.

  • All the more reason to break out of the mold. Keep photographing. I think you should try your "moving" shots out of a moving vehicle. I don't recommend that you do this while driving, but with AF (esp. on your new fast lens!) you can try it. Maybe you could take shots out of the moving FORD vehicles. I wonder what marketing group that would put you in....

  • I think I would be the person that doesn't want to have a marketing group. I bet they have one of those - so they probably wouldn't advertise the personality of the car they design for me.

    If they were smart.
