One of Kia's two ads in Super Bowl XLVIII, "Hotbots" finds an unlikeable nerd treating a Forte without the due respect, much to the ire of the female robots showcasing the car to a group of onlookers (one of them played by 2011 Miss USA Alyssa Campanella.) Violence ensues.
Like “Space Babies," Kia's other entry in the 2013 ad bowl, "Hotbots" was created by David & Goliath in Los Angeles.
