VW advertisement

I assume we’ve all seen this…

VW Suicide Bomber spoof

It’s sick and offensive and, on some twisted level, funny, and VW is mad as hell about it … becoming public. Seems that they actually had it produced for some unknown reason.

    VW advertisement – Sick and offensive… to who?

    I can see why people would be pissed, but to be honest, I have zero pity for suicides of any sort, be it depression or religious zealotry.

    So from my point of view, the ad was hilarious.

    VW advertisement – Well, I’m not about to get into political discussions here but I can certainly see how making light of suicide bombings can be offensive.

    For the record, I thought it was hysterical.

    VW advertisement – some good discussion on this – VW is also suing the producers… now that it’s public.

    VW advertisement – A spoof or parody is just that! They usually make 99% of the people chuckle and 1% cringe.

    I just wish VW would be as concerned about its customers!

    Could the President sue over this one?
