Car company Ford is in hot water after an offensive ad leaked on the internet.

Cartoon caricatures which bear a striking resemblance to Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian as well as Paris Hilton have been featured in an ad for Ford which was never meant to be seen. In the leaked ad from an agency in India, the reality TV sisters are bound and gagged, sitting in the boot of a Ford car, while Paris Hilton is smiling in the front seat.

The tag line for the ad read, “Leave your worries behind with Figo’s extra-large boot.”

The parent group of the Indian ad agency which was the creative force behind the ad issued an apology that read, “We deeply regret the publishing of posters that were distasteful and contrary to the standards of professionalism and decency within WPP Group. These were never intended for paid publication and should never have been created, let alone uploaded to the internet.”

Ford also told the Business Insider, “We deeply regret this incident and agree with our agency partners that it should have never happened.”
