First of all I didn't know what it was.
Then anger, sadness, guilt, denial, humor.

Call me a cynic, but isn't it odd that this "leaks" just before the pics of the facelift get released (supposed to be happening in a couple of weeks...)
Anyway, the ad's now offically disowned by VW:
Sounding as if lying through his teeth, Lee and Dan's Dan said, "The ad got out accidentally and has spread like wildfire. It wasn't meant for public consumption. We think the spot reflects what people see in the news everyday, and in this instance the car is the hero that protects innocent people from someone with very bad intentions. We're sorry if the ad has caused any offence." No company is going to spend marketing dollars on anything just to let it sit in the closet. This was very much a planned campaign.
Both Volkswagen and its agency, DDB, claim they had nothing to do with the creation of the spot
With associated threat of "legal action"
Probably because of reactions like this one:
Perhaps Europeans are more distanced from suicide bombings than Iraqis, Israelis and Americans are but that doesn’t mean they should make light of what American troops, Iraqi civilians and even prior to that Israeli and Palestinians have to legitimately worry about.
But that's just the Americans for you - getting all pretencious now that Dubya's about to unleash his brand of terror on Iran this time...
Deek.
