Commercial is cute. Some of the YouTube comments are pretty good. The vast majority make me weep for humanity.

I hate advertising but Volkswagon, if I recall, was the first one to sort of revolutionize it, with that one featuring the band Spiritualized. After that almost every car commercial would use some song from often otherwise-unknown-to-the-masses indie rock bands. It's not the reason I bought a Jetta back then (it had hail damage so I got it for super cheap) but the commercials did sort of give cars a heart, just like Herbie.

Bill Hicks didn't live long enough to see those commercials but I wonder what he would've thought if he had. I know some people in advertising who I wouldn't want to see committing suicide or anything.

I feel better about myself that Google apparently decided that the Holocaust comment should be 8th for me.

I'm looking forward to more intelligent commentary from our friend "Zyklon Brad"

"Can You Feel The Force" by The Real Thing...im'a post in in 73q for ya

errr...doesn't that line go on to talk about a dark lord returning to destroy the world?

My grandmother said that she didn't expect to live long enough to see interracial couples marry, let alone LGBT.

It still blows me over how bad things had been.

Because they're wrong about something, and have probably been indoctrinated to be wrong in that way all their lives. Right now, there are forces actively working to indoctrinate others to be wrong in that exact same manner, but, you know, hip and edgy, for the kids.

And people don't like being wrong.

Because people still get upset about interracial couples. Combine that with product placement and you've got yourself a shitshow, especially if you don't like the product. For example, that Wells Fargo commercial with the lesbians learning sign language to adopt the deaf child? Great sentiment, but seriously fuck Wells Fargo. Cars and banks are different obviously; I didn't complain when my Jetta decided to shut down its computers or something in the middle of the freeway like the way I'd complain about a bank that charges you 30 bucks for a 1 dollar overdraft.

So that's the thing. I support human rights but not that commercial because it's showcasing something that's a wonderful thing for a bank I hate. If I hated my car and I was pissed about the Confederate Flag, I'd come up with the same thing, like they were doing it just to piss me off and my broken down Golf. Something like that. Or, they're just racist fucks.

I dunno.. I'm not reading the comments.

They enjoyed the power of denying things to certain people. This power didn't profit them materially, but it made them feel they had some control over a chaotic universe.

Now they've lost that power. It won't affect their life in any way, but in their mind, it's a devastating loss.

People don't like to lose power.

That's what my 2004 Jetta did, lose power.

erm.... you forgot to say what youtube commenter you're quoting this from, right?

I think he was being facetious, using logic as if he were a Stormfag. I think.

Yeah man, remember all those race mixing car commercials jews made just prior to WW2? They'll never learn!

Looks more litalian to me...

The idea that Jews are behind Volkswagen is pretty hilarious.

(freeze frame as a Volkswagon jumps over a river)

LOOKS LIKE THEM JEW BOYS ARE AT IT AGAIN!
