Funny Car Commercial of the Day: Never judge a book mascot by its cover
Never judge a book mascot by its cover - Click above to watch the video after the break
Ever see those poor men and women out on a hot and sunny summer day dressed up in some ridiculous costume as some sort of promotion their employers are running? We truly feel for these people, but it seems not everyone is as kind and caring... probably those same jerks in middle school that used to knock the books out of our hands in the hallways.
Next time you happen to spot such a costumed worker, remember that you never know who – or, indeed, what – might be lurking under that unfortunate outfit. As you'll see in the video pasted after the break (which is only kinda sorta about the South African Ford Icon), it's not always what you might expect. Head on over to veryfunnyads.com for more hilarious commercials from around the world.

I don't get it, are they implying that is a a surprise to buy a "safe" vehicle from Ford?

Or, buy a Ford in case you encounter a bear in the city?

They were trying to show that life is full of surprises, just like a Ford. Surprises like recalls, suspension failures, transmission failures, and etc. Ford is big on surprises!

Or keep your car safe from street thugs by hiding a bear in it. Bear 1, car thieves 0.

I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting that.

There's a deserted corner, for the next few...years.
Plus, that shopkeeper is safer than if he was at 11 Downing Street.
So your girlfriend wants to walk down there.
"Uh, hon, i don't think that's a good idea."
"Why?"
Go ahead...just TRY and explain.

It's Ikon for crying out loud. IKON. How the hell can you misspell something that you got laid down on paper/screen. O_O

That's who I thought would be in the bear suit, honestly.
