I want to say something about a Volkswagen commercial
Edited on Wed Apr-28-10 03:25 PM by ThomWV
There is a commercial playing on television which advertises some model of Volkswagen. In the commercial a number of pairs of actors and actresses are set indifferent scenes and as automobile traffic passes by one of them hauls off and knocks the living shit out the other while saying something perfectly inane, like "black one". This is done to mark the event of a volkswagen passing by.
Do the people of Germany think we are such imbecilic juveniles that we go around hitting each other like a bunch of ****ing two-year-olds? Is this the image the germans have of us, that we are such a bunch of barbaric bastards that beating on each other is as normal as a breath of fresh air.
I find the commercial offensive as a son of a bitch, it makes me made as hell every time I see it. Just wanted to share that with you.
On Edit: I also wanted to say, that just because of this commercial I will never, and I mean absolutely never, buy any vehicle Volkswagen makes again - and I have in the past, several times. This just really fried my ass.
:lmao: Skid-marked Underwear felt the same way!
First reply was actually kind of funny:

1. Christ. followed by a picture of a guy sitting at a PC doing a face palm.
Then comes a huge onslaught of posts by the DUmmies recalling their childhood. Everybody played the game, but each and every DUmmie has to tell their same tale of brothers, sisters, etc. etc. blah blah blah.
Then:

12. I have always hated slug-a-bug, for at least 20 years. And i hate that commercial.
my husband and i are both tired of seeing TORTURE of some kind being presented as humor in commercials.
Not to mention series television.

80. When the OP doesn't even chime in to his own thread, it smells like flamethrowing.
Just sayin. No response from ThomWV since he lobbed the grenade. Methinks he was just farting in the elevator.

102. Not at all, I am just stunned by the results and how many people here accept violence as fun

105. Nope, if someone slaps me I'm not waiting for a Cadillac, I'm gona drop that asshat in his tracks
Someone slaps me like that I'm gonna knock that ****ing idiot out, right there and then,
:rotf: Priceless.
And sometimes the hypocrisy is sooo bad, even the DUmmies can see it, and so they piled on.
It's an enormous thread, and everybody's calling it a classic. The most annoying thing is everybody repeating exactly the same thing another poster says. 185 replies, and 150 versions of the same childhood story. Cripes.

I read that thread the other day and had to laugh out loud. Proof positive that just about ANYTHING can piss off a DUmmy.
-
Baseball, football, life...hell...even "spot-a-car"....DUmmies are losers.... :loser: :rotf:
-
First of all, I thought DUmmies celebrate every time Europeans display contempt for our lack of intelligence and maturity. Oh wait - that was only from 2001-2009. Second, the fact that the West Va. freak doesn't realize that an AMERICAN advertising firm made that commercial, indeed, proves that he's being really stupid.

The DUmmies were complaining about the same commercial two months ago. "OMG HE HIT A BABYYYY!!!!!111" Idiots.

Punching someone is torture? What planet do these morons live on?

Hard to say, they seem to wake up on a new one everyday.

The thing that bothers me about those commercials is that Punch Buggy is supposed to be played by spotting Beetles, fer cripesake!! :thatsright: Not just any old VW . . .

That's right. You were never allowed a punch when a hippie's patchouli van went by. It had to be a Beetle. DUmmy ThomWV should go back to self-dentistry, because he knows nothing about popular culture.

*PUNCH*

GOOD CATCH! and OW! I am telling my Mama on you. :-)

I would actually choke with surprise if a German had anything to do with that commercial. Those kinds of ad campaigns are dreamed up by liberals in New York City. Trust me, I know a few people who do that for a living. A close friend of mine came up with that whole cartoon car gas commercial idea. She should be punched in the arm for that one. lol
-
I wonder how these morons would react to padiddle? :rotf:
-
Smear the queer would REALLY make their heads explode!! :lmao: :lmao:
-
wow. slugbug is torture?
-
I've never heard of it and have not seen the commercial.
-
They bitch about cartooonish violence in a commercial yet all the goons would masturbate if they saw Bush, Cheney and Rove at the end of a noose. :mental:
-

Uranus? :confused:
I wonder what they would do if they watched "Laurel & Hardy" or anything by "The Three Stooges"....
I once thought some people were too stupid to live, then I found the DUmp.... :mental:
-
If they thought that was offensive then they would scream if these ever got used. :naughty:

It's a frelling commercial, it has no more to do with reality than Hollywood movies. Are the DUmmies going to complain about the sex and violence in movies? If not, then they should shut the Hell up.

Blowing things out of proportion a bit, doncha think? And a lusty appetite for violence, at that. Clearly this guy is over-compensating. Perhaps his uncle sodomized him in a Volkswagen van.

Uranus!
I thought everyone knew that by now, I repeat it often enough!

Most of the DUmmies are about as useful as cling-ons around Uranus.

HaHa! ThomWV follows up with a post dripping with hate and violence! Too funny.

I'll agree with the mountain man primitive on one thing. That commercial is stupid.
