Results: Kardashian sisters explore legal options
Ford Motor Co. apologized yesterday for their mock advertising campaign that depicted women bound and gagged in the back of a car. In one of the ads, Paris Hilton winks as she drives away with the Kardashian sisters bound and gagged in the trunk of the car. According to the Ford representative the ads were not official and were accidentally leaked on the Internet.
