Volkswagens new car crash commercials

[audivwdave]

I saw a new one tonight with some white dude and a black dude and they slam into a pick up truck backing out. Anyway you can so see the black dude is a dressed up dummy when his head hits the airbag. And also they love to show the jetta with the body kit and huge wheels like it should have not the cheap version they are sellign all over the place.

I was reading the WSJ at work a few days ago and there was an article about this \"new\" marketing technique VW is using and how they never did consumer testing or surveys to gauge people\'s reactions ahead of time. Basically the article said that people are calling in worried asking if the actors were hurt while they were making those commercials.

:S

Are people really that dumb?

I personally enjoy the commercials.

I think they\'re great.

People are getting \"freaked out\" because they want to think that they will never be in an accident...

Any commercial that bursts peoples\' bubbles is good.

It\'s like *ring ring* It\'s the real world on the line, and it\'s for you.
