« Bush's Inauguration: 25% Cheaper Than Clinton's | Main | Kausfiles Slaps Up Sullivan So I Don't Have To »
January 20, 2005

Best. Commercial. Ever.

At least until SondraK's assvertisements begin.

Must watch commercial for the VW Polo that deals with terrorism in a humorous, and deliciously satisfying, manner.

Thanks a bunch to JimW. Made my day.

Just a Thought: Kudos to VW and the firm that put this together for having the guts to do it.

I can't wait for the caterwauling about this. As if a terrorist scoring an "own goal" (in IRA parlance) is something we ought to be upset about.

Nope, Just a Spoof! Wizbang says this isn't a real commercial, but rather a spoof put together by... well, someone else.

Thanks to Sobek Pundit for informing me of my loose shit.

Still an awesome "ad," though!

I can't believe they made that.

not sure if a hammer could slice through that

Posted by: underground on January 20, 2005 02:14 PM

Wizbang is reporting that VW didn't make it. It's a spoof.

Sobek: good link.

I saw the post about the disclaimer yesterday. Apparently the group has done VW work, but the ad was not approved to go out (with good reason).

I don't know if VW backed off b/c the ad dealt with terrorism, or if the guy getting into the car looked Arab.

Heh - I blogged that last night. Mixed reactions over at Wizbang - not sure how I feel about it myself.

I think someone pointed it out about the same time as that scare came over Mr. Hysteria (aka. Drudge) yesterday.

Posted by: fat kid on January 20, 2005 02:25 PM

Why mixed reactions? It's got a great payoff.

Posted by: ace on January 20, 2005 02:49 PM

Dammit Ace, I pointed this out in the "UPDATE - Dirty Bomb False Alarm?" and was childishly hoping to secure credit for bringing it to your attention. But you just HAD to not read those comments, didn't you? Gobsmackingly vile.

Anyway, I think the commercial is great. Tasteless, yes, but no more so than what you would see during the Superbowl. I'll take political humor over dumb scatalogical/sexual humor any time. And the payoff is really great.

Posted by: Jeff B. on January 20, 2005 03:14 PM

No, I like the sexual humor better.

The homoerotic Dodge truck commercial where the dorks pretend their POS is broken down to score a ride in the other guy's truck is hilarious.

"Best Friends"

It depends on how one defines mixed reaction:

3 - tasteless
4 - tasteless but laughed ass off
22 - laughed ass off

laughing ass off wins hands down.

Posted by: julie on January 20, 2005 08:43 PM

Like a VIKING! Hoo-yah!

Posted by: Iblis on January 20, 2005 10:02 PM

I think it's fucking hysterical. I love the part where the car gives a little jiggle when the bomb goes off.

Posted by: George G. on January 21, 2005 10:32 AM

L O O O V V V E D IT!

Posted by: Brenda on January 21, 2005 04:04 PM

When was the last time you saw an ad for a car (ok, I know, made up), and thought..

justice. Nice.

Posted by: Dave in Texas on January 21, 2005 07:33 PM

Bomber-types favor bigger vehicles, especially Chevy Caprices. That was until all the unguarded high explosives disappeared from the bunkers. Explosives that were under U.N. seal until the U.S. invaded. Now they'll probably go for smaller cars thanks to Bush and his friends.

Posted by: Collin Baber on January 29, 2005 05:15 AM

It is so funny that a fucking liberal asshole will take a funny spoof and throw in his 2 cents, especially since I am sure he only knows what he reads in newsweek. Um...coliin? It was meant to funny. enjoy it for once dickhead...

Posted by: William hobbs on May 22, 2005 02:24 PM

Now all we need is a fake commercial for car cleaning products to deal with the mess.

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.

@KFILE 21m

Politico is reporting that multiple people have abruptly resigned from Eric Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign: "Members of senior leadership have departed the campaign, including Courtni Pugh, a strategic adviser who served as Swalwell's top liaison to organized labor groups."

So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations.
That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera
Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite
