That's fucked up, but funny. I wouldn't expect to see it in America, though. You know, American's have fragile sensibilities and zero sense of humor about terrorism. I can't stop laughing.

I think they should broadcast it on Network television to see how long it lasts and who all complains.

a couple things that rock hard about this commerical: awesome use of blood and guts; the woman is holding a baby; they're drinking starbucks (or something similar). this is probably the 2nd best commercial ever of all time, period.

The best car advert of all time (and probably best advert) is the one where the car gets up like a transformer and does the dance from saturday night fever. After seeing that I wet myself with glee when I heard that they're making a life action movie of Transformers.

Perhaps I should of added Sarcasem tags, I am usually against them. But sometimes its needed when a joke (which I believed to be obvious, even though it seems I am wrong) gets taken the wrong way.

and hitler liked messageboards, so messageboards are nazis!

That's one of the reasons why sarcasm doesn't really work on the web. I really hope that whoever set up that NAMBLA site was being sarcastic.

Actually, Hitler and his... engineers, designed and founded Volkswagen, literally, "The People's Car." Their first car was what we know as the Beetle I believe.

Just remind them that the NAZIS wore SHOES. And they'd better ditch the shoes, lest they be considered Nazi sympathizers.

(same goes for their money)

"Know who else used money? Hitler! Give it to me, and I'll get rid of it for you."

Not sure if anyone has seen the write-up about this on Snopes.com...

[url]http://www.snopes.com/photos/commercials/vwpolo.asp[/url]

The video is there, too. If the other site is still having issues.

Looks like VW claims they had nothing to do with it. haha

Check this out, you'll need RP-

I saw it last night on TV and it looks great, if you read the article it says that they're hoping to overshadow the fake ads.
