TTAC Contributor Jeff Jablansky posted a picture of the little Hamster action figure that came with the Kia Soul press kit. Somehow, it looks more like a weird mutant rotent/horse hybrid than a hamster. I still think Herr Schamus is the best auto-rodent in the biz, but I am biased.

Pretty sure that is a sloth and not a hamster.
somebody, somewhere had to approve that. the only thing i am certain is that it did not come across my desk...............
That is hysterical. And you're all talking about it, so +1 Kia. Meanwhile, just as offensive to some (like me) might be the "My parents are in bed, they can't possibly be having a post-child life" Venza commercials. And the Venza actors are younger than me. Finally, I was discussing with a co-worker that I'm considering a Subaru, which she then said "You mean a Lezbaru?". Did I miss a commercial on that one?
O.K. either no one here gets it or I'm the only one who'll mention the ' elephant in the living room ' : It's not a Hampster , it's a ghetto rat . That's why the hoodie , fat and bad attitude . The original toaster ads were clever but they've gone to the gutter with this one and yes , the streets of So. Cal. are jammed with sloppy , dirty smelly ghetto rats driving these . yes , I'm a geezer but I do have a tiny bit of class , these ads don't . -Nate
