Interestingly for all the palava about sticking it to greens, the guy who’s green ‘wins’ at the end. Something for everyone.

I watched the game. I remember thinking when I saw this ad: “That place exists, it’s called New Zealand!”

Great ad! But I prefer this one:

and the making of it:

Fantastic engineering.

I interpreted the ad as if you don’t want to be raped by the inevitable caring, sharing Green police in the near-future, buy an Audi.

Also the people who whine about plastic bags – shut up. They make great storage solutions.

Great ad! Good to see more and more people taking the piss out of some of the most ridiculous save the planet crap.

For some reason that ad makes me want to go out and buy a shotgun, not a car.

Good cars, what, like the Pious, which doesn’t brake when you tell it to?

I found the ad quite unsettling actually.
Way too close to the truth, and the path Labour put us on (Shower heads….)
1984 – the Green version?

LOL – Clearly Audi know who they’re selling to: a nation of screaming “freedom” / “My rights” / FTP nutters.

But it’s good to see that, at last, good cars are starting to make an impact in the US…

I saw three cops on segways in LA when they could easily have been walking, they were at about strolling speed. ‘Respect for police fail’ comes to mind.

US police of segways, reminds my of that movie Paul Blart – Mall Cop.

I hear the Greens regard this as a future-doco…

You get arrested for feeding cats to your dog. Brilliant video.

But bruce, gaia provides an unlimited source of dog food – cats.

But yeah, well done vid.

Anteater would suit – remember part of the plan to cool the planet is to ban domesticated dogs because of the horrific and totally unnecessary use of gaia’s resources to produce dog food

Awesome, loved the part at the end when they asked the cops to step out of the car!
