KIA better get with the American standards of good taste if they want to sell their cars here. It's unbelievable that they would attempt this ad in the United States.

KIA has always been homophobes; they continue to promote gay stereotypes as "humorous". Just recently on their latest campaign, they depicted a local KIA car dealer saying the customer was too close to his face and it was making him uncomfortable. Yes, I understand that both gays and straights feel uncomfortable when someone gets in front of someone's face. But then why must they insist on using two men?
