they are desensitizing us to the future reality.
Then plainly you have yet to begin your journey.
best ad in the superbowl (which ain’t sayin’ much) but it really brought home what the green people would do if they had the power. It definitely did not serve the purpose that was intended, which I suppose was that if you bought some stupid car, all would be well. I’m saving it to show my husband who boycotted the second half.
Let us know when you start packing.
Scary thing is in Britain they actually do have cases of the government digging through peoples' trash and fining them for not sorting recyclables - just like the cops on that ad.
The whole thing makes me want to vomit. And then go chuck the old car battery out behind my shed into the nearest EPA-protected "wetland" - code word for what used to be called a stinky old swamp/garbage dump a few decades ago.
I agree with most... I hoped it would end with a plea for sanity. Instead, it ended with, “Here’s how you can be one of ‘them.’” Nothing about the ad made me want to buy an Audi. And I can’t really imagine the ad appealing to the green-freaks either.
Uh, both myself and a friend who is County Sheriff’s Sargent thought this ad was a brilliantly accurate depiction of what the Obamunist fascist regime would like to lead us to.
We both thought this was a terrible ad for Audi, since large numbers of people like ourselves would associate Audi with fascists.
I suppose this ad was meant to be funny. Quite frankly, I found it to be prescient and frighteningly chilling.
"Us" rudeboy? There is no "us," unless you are one of those weirdos who refers to himself in plural. There is only "you," and "you" are plainly delusional to the point that you stand alone in your bizarre interpretation of this thread. And that leads me to conclude one of two things about you:
1) You're simply the type of personality that goes around looking for conflict over minute in trivial matters without realizing that it generally makes you off-putting to everyone around you, and might explain why you have very few friends and supporters
-or-
2) You drive an Audi.
Unless you want you make yourself appear like the "Green Police" in an Audi ad, that is.
It’s pure mind consciousness and guilt propaganda shaping. THis is a cult, a religion. THere are some pro-profit communists who use the non-profit socially acceptable mantra to get ahead politicaly and financialy.
TERRIBLE ad. Just Terrible. BTW, how much did they pay Jay Leno
to sit in the same room as Letterman?
Actually the personal attacks started the moment you arrived on this thread to deposit what has thus far amounted to little more than obtuse and poorly argued contrarianism. I've only pointed out the general foolishness associated with such antics...and, evidently, touched a nerve in the process.

So you say, then I'm not the one telling other people to "shut up."
No. Just no. It's not my fault you take a contrary opinion personally. Try manning-up, for a change.
While the Audi Green Police will be reaching over 100 million on Super Bowl Sunday, we hope that their efforts provide even a fraction of the benefits that the everyday official green police units in the United States, the United Kingdom, Vietnam and Israel are having in educating their populace and enforcing environmental protection laws within their own countries.
While there you can learn to "Unplug your power strips and save over 1000 pounds of CO2 per year", and watch The Green Police "share a simple rule that will help save over 1 billion pounds of napkins from landfills each year."
Furthermore, FU Cheap Trick! You'll never get another dime of mine, you fu**ing sellouts!
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Nope, no satire there.
"Officious “green police” punish citizens who are not sufficiently eco-conscious, but an owner of an Audi A3 TDI with clean-diesel technology drives away scot-free. This misguided spot put the “mental” in “environmental.”"

So tell me. How's it feel to be just about the ONLY person so far who thinks this thing is funny?
And I don't care to read the NYT article, unless you post some of it here.
It is difficult to find humor in a joke if the joke is bad from its inception.

Seeing as it was posted, I'm somewhat baffled by your request. Apparently your literacy is on par with your sense of humor.
