…Your Focus wants to join the orchestra?

In the spirit of Honda’s Cog commercial comes this new Ford spot for the UK Focus that turned and tuned various parts from the car into musical instruments.

There’s the “Transmission Case Cello-Dulcimer”, a “Clutch Guitar”, a “Rear Suspension Spike Fiddle”, and a “Fender Bass” among other things, and each one manages to sound good when mashed with the rest.

Though there’s no way of telling if these parts actually played music, or if they just played the part, it sure does look convincing.

I guess it’s time that I re-up my Fender Bass lessons!

…Interiors can be obscene?

Obscene Interiors “is a collection of real online male personal ad photos” with a “critique of the decorating found within”.

To help you focus on the décor, the “often-nude” figures have been grayed out, leaving nothing but their style and taste to show off.

It’s amazing what a change in focus will reveal!
