Thumbs up Ford Falcon. Brilliant EcoBoost ad.

Apparently, the world's population of talking frogs have turned their allegiance from Budweiser and are now shilling for Ford of Australia. At least, those that haven't been smashed into great green globs of greasy, grimy cane toad guts.

Let's set the scene: A pair of Australian cane toads – the species, native to Central and South America, was imported into Australia in an unsuccessful attempt to control Beetle populations – are having a nighttime chat on a random road somewhere in Oz. The subject matter ranges from the tastiness and arousing properties of the toads' own back secretions to the velocity with which a four-cylinder car can travel. In this case, the car is powered by one of Ford's turbocharged EcoBoost engines.

And then... disaster strikes. It's certainly an odd advertisement, but at least it's unique. Oh, and if you're a member of PETA, you might want to look away. See for yourself by scrolling down below.
The video is absolutely brilliant. Won't make the TV though, but internet for sure.

Ford also has an in-depth video detailing the EcoBoost technology, from the Tasmania debut of the Falcon EcoBoost by Andrew Fraser. Very nerdy, and he tends to stutter. But viewing all the same.
