The Kardashian girls are no stranger to having haters but is this Ford ad that was accidentally released of the Keeping Up With The Kardashians reality television stars a tad offense?

In the ad Kim Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian Odom are shown in cartoon versions of themselves bound, gagged and scantily dressed in the truck of a car with Paris Hilton riding shotgun. The tagline of the ad read, “Leave your worries behind with Figo’s extra-large boot.”

Well, the Kardashians did not take kindly to the ad and have since released a statement regarding the matter. An attorney of the family said, “The ‘leave your worries behind’ Ford ads are disgusting, vile and offensive to all women. It is unacceptable that Ford would align itself with an ad agency that would so carelessly release these ads.”

A team from JWT India, the ad agency, created the mock-up to potentially be used for a campaign. Ford issued an apology last week stating, “We deeply regret this incident and agree with our agency partners that it should have never happened.” The JMT India creative team behind the offensive incident has been fired in backlash of the incident.

But it seems the K-dash girls still want some justice. Their attorney said, “The Kardashians do not take this lightly and they are exploring all of their legal options.” What’s your take on all of this?
