Is this a real V Dub ad? If so, those Germans really do have a sense of humor. Ach Tung Baby!

No, it was put together by a video/ad company to show VW what they could do, IIRC. VW distanced themselves from it, strongly.

Here's an interesting comment about the video, ostensibly from a Palestinian:

being a palestinian myself i would consider this add to be greatly offensive and racist. Portraying an arab wearing the koffiyya to be the bomber is a generalization.....remember palestinians are not the only oppressed people that have been forced to commit such atrocities due to injustice done upon them......suicide bombing is against humanity, yet remeber the people commiting these acts are desperate people in need of urgent help....making fun of them for some stupid car add is very very cruel.

(Emphasis added)

"Forced to commit"? Uhhh, yeah, OK. What ever makes you feel better so you can sleep at night, Abu.
