Blind dates can be full of surprises, but few ever end with the man crapping his pants – and with cameras rolling.
Such are the scenes in a Ford Motor Company promo video for the 2015 Mustang, in which a hidden-camera captures a gorgeous blonde stunt driver and her unsuspecting dates.
The video, which has racked up more than a quarter-million views since it was posted to YouTube late last week, runs just under three and half minutes. It shows technicians installing tiny cameras in the car’s dash.
We then see the driver in a typical bar speed-dating scene as she interviews the men for likes and dislikes. With each guy, she invites them for a ride in her new Mustang. She feigns ignorance about how to shift and open up the car. One guy offers to show her what the car can do.
But then the show is all hers. She turns off into a vacant parking lot and then puts the pedal to the metal, her doe-eyed look turning ferocious as she shifts and burns rubber, spinning donuts in the turns.
Her dates seem to rise out of the seat, stopped only by their seat belt and a tight-knuckled hold on the nearest grips. The sight of their faces is worth twice the sticker price.
It is not known if the event was an actual prank or if the men were knowing participants in a commercial. But when a car goes that fast, it’s hard to fake that reaction.

That was incredible!! The one brotha looked like he was about to cry!!
Having said that she must also be a pretty good actress to go on that many blind dates, talk with each guy for just a few minutes then somehow move the conversation to her car without each guy thinking he was about to score because she was seemingly rushing to leave the diner/café.
Although I get the sense that NONE of those guys are her type. Not sure if she made a love connection but I’m pretty sure it was not the guy in the pea coat that kept going on and on and on about what he likes to do. Like the guy has any time to do all of that crap unless he unemployed or lives with his parents!!
Dating 101: don’t talk about yourself too much, keep your responses/conversations as pithy as possible, and find a way to convert those responses back into questions about her.
Awesome! The African American guy was the most awesome-est. the other dudes were dweebs. LOL, great ad!
So bad. Pure ripoff of the Jeff Gordon/Pepsi YouTube which was done so well. This Ford copy is like an Android phone. Just a copy of something better,
What happened to the Mac part in CultOf? I guess COM is the new buzzfeed. Better get to posting cat videos.
CoM writers have to eat too. My guess is they’re trying to (or have to) expand so they’re not a one-trick pony.
I’d argue that it’s site that’s dedicated to fans of Mac stuff and stuff Mac fans would like.
(ahem, CoM, the check’s in the mail, right?)
