Green Police/Audi Ad--The Coming Totalitarian State

Audi Commercial ^ | February 7, 2010 | Audi Superbowl ad

[samsmom]

Does this really make you want to buy an Audi or stop the green police?

[Fresh Wind]

They are saying that wanting to own a fuel efficient vehicle doesn’t automatically put you in the same category as the environmentalist wackos who would be fine with arresting someone for using an incandescent bulb.

In no way is this ad an endorsement of eco-fascism. If anything, it is a warning to us to not go down that road.

[B Knotts]

I don’t think this ad was pro-tyranny. I think it was making fun of the environmentalist insanity.

[TankerKC]

The ad only makes sense if it’s aimed at people who acknowledge the moral authority of the green police...

Exactly.

[DJ MacWoW]

That was their target audience - green-minded and wealthy Americans.

You really don't get it. Greenies hate diesels. Period. Oh well. I tried.

[Hacklehead]

“I don’t think this ad was pro-tyranny. I think it was making fun of the environmentalist insanity.”

At the same time they were telling us to bow to it. Now if they used the car to DRIVE OVER the GP I might buy one.

[B Knotts]

LOL...I like that idea!

Were they?

Green Car of the Year, AUDI A3 TDI DIESEL, mocks "Green Police" in Superbowl ad

Gee, maybe we can have a balance of doing good environmentally, lessening dependence on foreign oil, and actually not destroying jobs and economies. Ya think?

That is Audi's point in a series of ads about the Green Police, culminating in a great ad to be seen in the 4th quarter tomorrow. Good for Audi in taking their stand.

[US_MilitaryRules]

Yes, most of the ads were lousy. But the game was good.

[bcsco]

That was a good game, two bourbons worth :). But we tuned out when NO was obviously going to take it (about 3 1/2 minutes left). It was time for a snack and get ready for bed.

Cap and Tax is the original “Cheap Trick”.

[WOBBLY BOB]

Ray Lahood would disagree:

**LaHood defends mass transit push **

“Government ‘promoted driving’ by building the Interstate Highway System”
He says, “People are getting out of their cars, they are biking to work.” High-speed intercity rail, such as the proposed bullet train connecting Los Angeles and San Francisco, is “the wave of the future.”

[colorado tanker]

Well, here's my two cents. I was amazed they ran the ad because it so nicely captured what the future may look like if the climate alarmists at EPA manage to seize control of the country. It was a brilliant, if unwitting, parody.

Of course, the Audi at the end was lost in all the nonsense, making it a lousy ad for selling cars, but a great ad to caution the public about what the alarmists have in store if we let them.

[Canedawg]

They can take my incandescent bulbs from my cold, dead hands.

[WOBBLY BOB]

Get in bed with the state and sooner or later you will be owned by the state.

Or you'll be Obama Motors.

[WOBBLY BOB]

I think sales of this car would be banned in CA under CARB’s
pending rules.

[Thunder90]

Eco Wacko PING

[samsmom]

Busting through green police roadblock==that would have been awesome! Rather than being compliant and patted on the head for it.

[DJ MacWoW]

I know that VW diesels have been available in Ca in the past. They manage to meet emission rules. Audi is just a gold plated Volkswagen.

[samsmom]

This pro-tyranny commercial made me want to escape to freedom, join the resistance, find a 1979 Chevy Suburban and drive it right over the green police eco-nazis.

Hilarious, I’ll join you!

Absolutely in a performance car defiance sells. I think that is what they were going for, but the badly missed the mark.

And if they want to go with the clean diesel angle how about this. Imagine the Audi speeding off down the open road with a bunch of golf carts, smartcars, and seaways trailing behind and the voice over says "The Audi A3 TDI, Supporting the environment without surrendering your freedom!".

That is the attitude that sells muscle cars. Not getting happy smiles from the Green Police.
