at first im thinking WTF??? but now i get it.
mmmm is pretty disturbing in a way if you take it how i have but then again it is pointing out the safety of the car, but also points towards terrorism and people trying to blow other poeple up.
i guess you wont be seeing this on our channels.

I think so fr, the response to it is positive. We all find it funny because of its content, but i could see where alot of people would find it inapproiate. Still a **** funny ad however.

Definitely funny, and clever. It's a shame it probably won't be shown here - it certainly gets the point across!

It's also about to get the makers in court. VW is furious that it was made without their knowledge. It was made by the same guys who made the SportKa ad with the cat.

I put it in the pub because it is car related. It has a car in it. Its an ad for a car.

Pub!

I agree that it is tasteless, but I also found it funny because of that...

Well who are these terrorist masterminds? If they are really a mastermind wouldn't they leave the bomb in a bag on the bus? Instead of blowing themselves up? How smart is that?

Great to see a mastermind at work.

I can see the point it's trying to make....but it's also making fun of a very serious subject.

Flipside...Not only was the guy dumb enough to blow himself up..but he also chose to drive a VW....what an idiot!

No chance that'll be shown on TV.
Quite clever but the intent of it and showing a baby in the mothers arms..
Plenty of other ways to show the car is safe.
It's original though.

Clever, not overly funny, not suitable for the present and not many people will get it in ten years.
