Which Is The More Blasphemous Hyundai Ad?

Hyundai’s been getting a bit of flack for a version of this advertisement, which some say makes a mockery of the Catholic faith. Frankly, we think the ad after the jump (which may or may not be real) is simultaneously more blasphemous and funnier. Do you agree?

[The top ad is not the most allegedly anti-Catholic version, apparently. We will post the more offensive version as soon as it shows up, naturally]

    The only problem with the commercial is... why isn't the dead guy dressed in yellow/green/blue? a) he's dressed in full portuguese national colors b) the music is reminiscent of portuguese traditional music while c) the widow and her son speak with brazilian accents!!! :))) Brazilian accents =/= portuguese accents

      I noticed that too. I had my head turned when the commercial came on and only heard the widow speaking, which clearly sounded like Brazilian Portuguese. Upon watching the remainder of the commercial I was surprised to see a Portuguese fan in the box. If a Brazilian fan would have been in the casket, his hands would be up over his head celebrating Brasil's 6th World Cup, and he would have died very happy :) If Argentina wins the World Cup, now that would be blasphemous! Sheesh, people are so thin skinned now-a-days.

    Ahhh, that Top Gear send-up is spot on.

    If you know of any ardent soccer fans that have died, you'll KNOW that the commercial isn't all that far off!
