I had heard about that VW/Ted Kennedy ad but didn't know it was for real! LOL. I wonder if that is just a parody, or was it meant to be a serious ad?? Hard to believe that VW would actually run such an ad. I first heard about the ad from a guy at the YAF conference I attended way back in 1979. I think that was the same attendee who proposed starting a YAF chapter called "Mary Jo Kopechne Memorial YAF." :)
Ted Kennedy just appeared on the Today show moments ago. I had to fight the urge to spit at my TV.
Well, real enough for Mad magazine, IIRC. :=)
