Advertising has no fury as a woman scorned !

YouTube Clip

A few months ago,YaVaughnie Wilkins, the spurned mistress of one of Barack Obama’s top economic advisers,  exacted revenge by plastering details of her affair with Charles Phillips on giant billboard posters across the U.S. She is reported to have spent $150k on the stunt - hopefully she achieved her aim. However it appears that you don’t have to spend that much to get your own back
During the Superbowl this year Dodge Charger ran this ad obviously appealing directly to the millions of emasculated men watching the game. The ad was also viewed by a number of women - one of which decided not to lie down and take it but rather get her own back. Using her apartment as a set, a few friends as actors and armed with a creative script knocked up in one afternoon she produced this lovely response.
The response now has nearly 200k hits in YouTube compared to 900k for the original ad but I am guessing that the original ad cost a lot more than 4-5 times more than the viral !
It appears that you can get your own back without having spend a six figure sum.
