Or German engineering meets the Jihad.
I think this has been posted before, but it just showed up in my mailbox again and it's funny.

The one I really ended up laughing hard over was where some Brit woman was interviewing an Arab terrorist and he started complaining about subtitles. Anyone know that link?

Woah... that IS old. That's so old that I have a copy of the video on my computer because I thought it might get taken down from the original website.
For reference this ad was made without VW's permission, was never intended for public release and VW do not endorse it in any way, shape or form. Infact VW considered suing the makers (http://www.leeanddan.com/)

Dead baby jokes? Immature as my humour may be, even I am above them. The worst I like are your ma jokes.

I don't really find dead baby jokes funny, but I tend to laugh at dead diana jokes.
What's the similarities between a broken arm and Princess Di?
You need to get a doctor in to remove the plaster of paris.
What's the difference between a BMW and a Mercedes?
BMW doesn't get any royalties.
What do Lady Di and the Beatles have in common?
They both made quite an impact over in Europe.
Was Princess Diana crazy that night?
No, but she was nearly in Seine.
What's the difference between those who get offended by Princess Diana jokes and a puppy?
The puppy eventually stops whining.

Volkswagen (as well as Audi, Skoda, and Seat) have employed one of the best advertisement companies in my opinion.
Something as distasteful as that video would never even be considered.
Besides, videos like this are giving Volkswagen an undeserved bad reputation.
How 'bout not posting it? It's not even funny to begin with.
