Is it just me, or does this Audi "Green Police" ad succinctly summarize Obama's dream for America? It's a perfect melding of enviro-soviets and police state fascism.
Commercial was a FAIL.
Exactly. After the initial revulsion wore off, my first instinct was a pressing desire to go start a garbage fire out back and intentionally increase my carbon footprint.
What was the point of that ad? I just laughed and thought it made them look silly. Also thought it pointed out what control freaks those greenies really are.
It played like some sorta leftie wet dream. Awful.
...except for the fact that the ad plainly gave its endorsement to the environmental wacko movement at the end when the smiling Audi Obamamobile driver is waved through the checkpoint.
Ads that simply repeat and endorse the absurdities of reality are not parody. They are a continuation of that absurd reality.
The ad was tongue in cheek, but defined the world Obama and his facist followers yearn for, complete control over our every move. Make no mistake about it, America, the Obama control police are birthing right now!!! Only, you, the American voter can stop him. because very soon, he will take away your right to vote!!!
Nope, I don’t see it. A parody does not evaporate when a “contrary” alternative is presented (in this case, a driver being waved through a checkpoint with an ANTEATER sniffing autos).
Audi’s website lauds the real ‘green police’. No parody was intended.
Without going out on a limb here, I will wager that Audi’s website lauds Audi. For the purpose of selling Audi automobiles.
Yep. WAY too close to their desired reality. And it is a reality for the environmentalist Nazis - especially in Britain but it's coming here to America too.
My folks live on several acres of land on the edge of suburbia about 30 miles out of a big city in what is one of the reddest of red states - same house for about 20 years. Part of the acreage is wooded so they get a lot of brush on their property, and as long as they've lived there my dad would gather it up with his tractor and put it in a burn pile. He always did it in a perfectly safe and controlled way, never burned when there were drought conditions etc.
That all came to an abrupt end a couple months ago when he was burning one day and the police showed up on the front door. Apparently their county was included in some new regional emissions reduction scheme by the EPA, and it imposed regulations against private citizens from burning stuff on their own property. And the local cops had been tasked with enforcing it. They told him if he did it again he'd be subject to a fine.
What can I say? Some people are just dense.
Until the Audi showed up, I thought it was going to be a TEA Party Ad!
Self-realization is the first step to true enlightenment.
I’ve heard about such laws over the past few years. Here in Md., I don’t think I’ve seen anyone burn anything on their own property in decades. Raking the leaves and then burning them is one of the fun remembrances of my teenage years here.
Big fail.
That's exactly it. And I hate to say it (especially as one who voted for the guy twice), but all those new federal law enforcement agencies Bush created and all the expansive powers he gave them in the name of "national security" are going to be the tools Obama uses to implement his control state. That's why growing the government is NEVER a good thing - even if it seems to serve a noble purpose such as "homeland security." All it takes is for a thug like Obama to get elected and he has every tool he ever dreamed of at his immediate disposal.
Agreed. I guess Audi thought the ad was pretty cool. But me, it chilled me throughout - a look into the Messiah’s future.
Audi is a company from Germany, the country which presented the world with their Fuhrer. Now, Audi endorses ads for America’s Super Bowl, painting the landscape of America’s Fuhrer.
Audi is just telling it like it is.
And what really galls me is that it's all premised on a scientific hoax!
I live in suburbia myself now, and I suspect there's probably similar regulations in place here too. One trick I use to get around it (as do several of my neighbors) is the installation of one of those outdoor fireplaces they sell at Wal-Mart or Home Depot. My yard is small enough that it can handle the sticks and brush, and the fireplace flies under the EPA nazi radar...at least for now.
