Agreed, the VW ads are normally "peaceful"

could you perhaps consider that it is actually a creative message about the state of the world these days. i personally dont find it offensive at all, i think its quite clever and very smart advertising.

i see it as "people are blowing things up these days, including themselves, but we still build cars as strong and reliable as we always have."

why didnt it get on tv? ask the usa, they seem to have a monopoly on what gets shown in australia as well as their own country...

That is only the shortened version. If you see the whole add you have no idea what the guy is going to do...gets you by suprise...but i agree...given this day and age with all thats goin' on it's a bit over the top:jesus

this is a fake ad made up by somone as a joke to look like a VW ad..

not ever actually intended to be shown on TV.. i think it's sick.

I thought it was briliant. Chill out guys. Sometimes you just have to laugh at the world.

And it is a good reflection of the world these days.

as far as i know its a 3mb download so those who have dialup 56k modems will need to wait a while. you will also need quickime installed for the movie to work i think. it's a .mov file.
