Chrysler says the ad, which "goes far beyond the bounds of what the company considers appropriate," was only on the Internet. "Although European
commercials -- especially 'viral' ads like this one -- are often edgier, this one went over the edge," Chrysler said in the statement.
Last year, the company was criticized by gay groups for a Dodge Caliber hatchback car ad in the U.S. that showed a little fairy turning a tough-looking man walking a large dog into a yellow-clad man walking four small dogs on pink leashes in the "Anything but Cute" campaign.
