Chrysler pulls out Jalopnik�s Youtube videos

There�s been a little �tift� between the guys at Chrysler and the guys at Jalopnik over a gag ad they retrieved from a Chrysler internal source. The ad contained various profane language and a little humor that was meant to be enjoyed only by the Chrysler people. Now wasn�t that selfish of them? Didn�t anyone teach Chrysler that secrets don�t make friends!

Now as bloggers ourselves, we can�t help but comment on the situation. We probably would have done the same thing all in the name of a little chuckle. Ray Wert, from Jalopnik, responded to the removal in a posting stating that Chryslers executives have "gone so far as to head on over to YouTube like a petulant child asking them 'Mommy, make Jalopnik stop running leaks they get from the Tech Center!�

Chrysler probably should have just left it alone because like our friend John Neff at Autoblog said, Chrysler seemed cool for about 15 minutes �for being involved in an ad with swearing and other entirely unairable content.� On the other hand, if it continued to air we�re sure this one would send the conservatives trading in their Sebrings for a Crown Vic with a Christ Loves Me sticker on it. And Chrysler wouldn�t want that, would they?

ESSEN Show: Baal Concept

So, what the �fuchten� is this? Well, except from being a concept that premieres at the 2006 Essen Motor Show, according to its makers, university students, Tilmann Schlootz und Oliver Keller, �the Baal is a cross between a crawler type-vehicle and a motorcycle that wears a 60 Hp engine and has a top speed of 130 Km/h� . Aha, ok now I get it�
