"Congratulations Internet, you've finally produced an ad that offends me."

wow. i'm speechless. that's a joke right? that can't be a real vw ad.

doody.

 

Haha! I love it This is somewhat old, I believe it has been posted here before...it's been circulating for a few weeks.

 

there was a whole discussion and thread about this. apparently the creators were using it as a demo of skill, claim it was never meant to made public, etc. lots of back-talk about how it didnt cost them $40k, but $400, etc

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think they call these things "virals", ads that are too offensive for TV, but shown on the net to people that search them out. Seems the companies deny any involvement as they get a lot of attention. Remember the Ford Ka's evil brother with the cat decapitation?

 

Here is the other thread - the discussion is on the linked website.

Not to be a provocative dick about it, but some may be more offended by the ad than by the real thing. Sad.

 

I don't see a problem with the ad. So a terrorist blows himself up, but is prevented from harming anyone else because of the tough little car. Where's offensive part? It didn't show any guts or gore (unlike the cat decapitation one, which was pretty gross). So what's the problem?

 

After Tubgirl everything else on the internet is tame.

This ad didn't offend me, but it wasn't really funny either.

 

Using the whole terrorists idea to sell a car ?

 

I thought it was funny because it was so wrong ... funny in a "I can't believe they did that!" way ...

 

Yeah, that was hilari- I mean, awful.
