'Introducing the Ford Explorer Men’s Only Edition': Ironic Ford Commercial for Women's Day

The ironic commercial highlights the contributions of women to the auto industry, as Ford cleverly "newsjacks" Women's Day.

======================================================

*SCRIPT*

The voiceover (by Bryan Cranston) begins in earnest until Cranston seems to realize halfway through that the fictional automobile is a purposeful prank:

Bryan Cranston: “For the first time ever, we've completely reimagined the automobile. Introducing the Men’s Only Ford Explorer, with no windshield wipers, no heater. No turn signals? Wait, no rearview mirror? No GPS, are you kidding? Ah, it’s missing all the parts created by women. Wow. Whose great idea was that? This Women’s History Month, Ford salutes the visionary automotive work by women — past, present, and future.”

This is dumb. How about a women's only edition with no engine and no wheels?
