Filed under: Euro , Marketing/Advertising , Crossovers/CUVs , Dodge Click above for a gallery of the Baby Made on Board promo materials var digg_url = 'http://digg.com/autos/Chrysler_promo_tells_Belgians_to_get_laid_in_Dodge_Journey'; When we read the tip from reader Thijs B. telling us that in Belgium, Dodge is planning a Journey launch promo centered around backseat baby-making, we thought it was a big joke. So we started using our Google powers to see what else we could dig up. And guess what? It's legit. If you go to babymadeonboard.be , you'll be greeted by the screen above, which features a play on those annoying "Baby On Board" window signs that were ubiquitous during the 80s . It's paired with a countdown timer that will zero out on the weekend of June 14, which is when the Dodge Journey officially launches in Belgium.

Filed under: Trucks/Pickups , Etc. , Euro , Government/Legal , Dodge Alan Love is a millionaire who apparently doesn't believe rules apply to him. Alan lives in Glasgow, Scotland and has a predilection for parking illegally. After getting his cars towed on numerous occasions he has come up with a novel way of avoiding that little problem: get a vehicle bigger than the tow trucks. In a country where high fuel prices cause most people to drive smaller cars, Glasgow authorities didn't have any tow trucks capable of removing Love's new three-ton Dodge Ram pickup. Love evidently pays his £150 in parking tickets, but still believes he should be able to park wherever he feels like. Now that the escalation is continuing with the Glasgow City Council buying two new tow trucks capable of towing the Ram, the question is what will Love do next, buy one of these?

Filed under: Etc. , Euro , Marketing/Advertising , Crossovers/CUVs , Chrysler , Dodge Fortune has called the notorious, dog-frying Dodge Nitro commercial done by BBDO Netherlands the 56th Dumbest Moment in Business . If you initially missed this story and are jjust hearing about the spot for the first time, you might think Fortune iseither picking on Chrysler or that it was an exceedingly smart year for business, because how could a car commercial be that dumb? Then you'll watch it and understand. We continue to laugh at the absurdity that several groups of really smart people gave that commercial an "A.O.K.!" If they just would have gone with the idea that lightning doesn't strike in the same place twice, they might have been all right. And the point they were trying to make was obvious after the first hit -- but really, folks, does no one at BBDO Netherlands own a dog or get Atlanta Falcons football games on satellite? Chrysler pulled the ad (long before it made the...
