The Kardashian sisters are considering legal action over a "vile and offensive" Ford advertisement that features them gagged in the back of a Ford Figo according to ABC News.
The image, released to the web by an advertisement agency, shows Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian tied down in the truck of a car being driven by Paris Hilton, their reality star rival.
'It is unacceptable that Ford would align itself with an ad agency that would so carelessly release these ads. The Kardashians do not take this lightly and they are exploring all of their legal options,' their attorney said to E! News.
The Figo is strictly sold in India, not the U.S., which begs to question why the company even bothered showing the sisters in the advertisement in the first place.
"We deeply regret this incident," Ford's India unit said in an e-mail according to the Associated Press. "The posters are contrary to the standards of professionalism and decency within Ford and our agency partners. Together with our partners, we are reviewing approval and oversight processes to help ensure nothing like this ever happens again."
Two other advertisements were released to the web as well, one of which former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berluscuoni is behind the wheel with three scantily clad women tied up in the trunk. Another depicts Formula One driver Michael Schumacher driving a Figo with racing competitors in the trunk of the vehicle.
The ads have caused quite an uproar on the internet and were released just shortly after India passed a new law on violence against women after a brutal gang rape of a student on a bus that caused a mass protest in India according to the Associated Press.
Ford did not approve of the ads, JWT India was just "publishing some speculative renderings to show off its creative chops" according to a report by BusinessInsider.
All the ads feature the same headline: "Leave your worries behind."
"We deeply regret the publishing of posters that were distasteful and contrary to the standards of professionalism and decency within WPP Group," read a company press statement.
