It is real, but it was not used, as Ford didn't find it funny either.

And both the cat and the pigeon (another commercial) were not real, they
were computer generated.  One clue to that would have been the bloodless
decapitation of the cat - there would have been blood everywhere.  Not
saying I approve, it is sick.  The pigeon one is a little less sick to me,
but then I hate pigeons - too many years in the Navy, I guess...
