Spoof 'small but tough' ad...

Guys,

Has anyone read or seen this spoof advert a couple of guys made about the New Polo?

It features an Arab looking fellow (suicide bomber) in his traditional robe getting into a Polo/driving and parking outside a London Cafe and attempting to commit suicide by blowing himself up? What he doesn't realise is the Polo is small but tough and so the explosion remains inside the vehicle and outside onlookers are looking in to the flames wondering what is going on?

Apparently VW are looking to sue against the makers of the video but they have not disclosed who they are, I'm sure there must be a clip somewhere online...

Doh, looks like GaryUK has beaten me to it! He's bloody using it as his sig!

Shame about the repost - but interesting to hear further developments on it.

As I said before, such an ad would be waayyy too close to the mark for VW to make themselves, not like the somewhat harsh yet wholly funny Street Ka virals, which I believe were actually mady by ford.

VW can only bring more attention to it by sueing tho surely - tho maybe that's the idea!! - Draw attention to an advert they wish they could've made!! :D

It would be a great idea as a signature too!
