Was on CNN, the guy who made it didnt have the backing of the company. It is a smart advert, but isn't wise atm considering whats happening around the world. :o

Viral marketing :)
Companies make unofficial adds which are controversial (Ford SportKa killing a cat for example), 'leak' them and let the internet communities distribute and generate hype, giving much better exposure and media coverage than a standard add made within the confines of what is acceptable. Don't be surprised if VW denies involvement. It's plain to see that the add has a high production value and is made with proper equipment etc.

Rumour Mill Update 3: It has been brought to our attention that the RoSPA (The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents) is incensed at this spot. They noticed that the driver of the VW doesn't appear to be wearing a seat belt or any other form of safety harness, thus making him a unsuitable role model for impressionable British youth. "Remember, ladies and gents - Seat belts save lives."

(the advert is wrong but that quote made me laugh)
