Sorry, but I can't see the humor in misreporting something a large percentage of us take seriously...

Why take something seriously when it's almost totally out of your control?

For a second, I thought Ford had done a Nissan and registered a whole heap of unsold cars to inflate sales figures before the end of the Japanese financial year.

The contract comes on the back of a new Australian made advertising campaign, described as "stunning" by media executives, familiar with its development. Public perception and understanding of the new Falcon based Lincoln is believed to be the highest ever recorded for a new car launch.
