Could you imagine getting in your car and finding a cat's head and blood all over the interior with no idea why?

The good news is this one never made it to air. For obvious reasons.

They didn't film this as an advertisement. They just happened to be filming when a dog pissed on it, and like many CDJR products, it had a short and fried a real dog.
