    Creators of Ford Figo ads fired

     Ford Figo ad in India

     From JWT India, unit of WPP

    JWT India employees who were in charge of those controversial Ford Figo ads were fired.
    After Ford India apologized for the ads, world's largest advertising group WPP declared those who were responsible for the photos were dismissed. They were working at JWT India (a unit of WPP) but the posters were created by individuals "and did not go through the normal review and oversight process."

    As a reminder, in one of the ads is former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi (charged in Italy for paying money to have sex with a minor) behind the wheel of the Ford Figo while in the trunk he has three women bound and gagged. There's also another poster with Paris Hilton driving a Figo with the Kardashian sisters being held hostage in the cargo compartment. The third and final ad shows Michael Schumacher holding captive Sebastian Vettel, Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton.

    In the WPP statement it was specified these posters were never intended for publication and were not requested by Ford. In addition, these "should have never been created, let alone uploaded to the Internet."
