Watch the story by Jeanne Moos at CNN on the "Invisible Monkey" ad here:



So, do you agree with Dodge's actions? Should more businesses take this attitude - or at least show some humor when confronted by interest groups? Is it good or bad PR for the company? Post your thoughts here on the blog site.
