hehe, not actually banned, there was a fair bit of talk about it when it first hit the net, the company that does vw advertising produced it independantly as a bit of a marketing stunt at the same time as producing the actual add for the car. pretty damn funny tho.

Because some idiot will try to see if it's true! Am I correct?

Don't laugh dogo but an ad was banned in the UK with a car driving beside fields of sugar cane as the sugar cane exploded into flames and the reason was (and I'm serious here!) that "people would believe they could drive these cars through fire!". I can't remember if it was a VW or not and the ad was made in Australia but honestly maybe you should let people think that then at least they'd be out of the gene pool:spin:

Yes that's the one Dub74l, I can't believe they need to protect the sort of idiot who would think they could drive through fire!!! And Matberry it looks like you're just up the road from me ! I just live down at Tinbeerwah between you and Tewantin:thumb
