@corrupt200 you are the type of guy that thinks that if
- if a white guy honked to a black girl, it'd be racism;
- if a black guy honked to a black girl, it's be denying white people their space in the media adverts
- if a white guy honked to a white girl, it'd be whites denying being a country with black majotirty. Can't you just appreciate the commercial without trying to find a "secret nasty message"? If both people in the commercial were green, that'd be funny as well. Try to picture that
do any of u know a recent VW jetta commercial where the guy has a blind date but gets dragged into a carnival thing and arrives late for his date but she smiles when she sees he has a jetta? if so does anyone know the name of the song in tha commercial? please??
Irrespective of the races of the characters, this is just a stupid advertisement, which reflects the contempt that the company feels for its customers.
The "prank" humour, at someone else's expense, is childish and exploitative, if not downright malicious.
I know, "it's just an advert, don't take it so seriously," etc etc.
Humour at someone else's expense is a bad idea.
Volkswagen boobed with this advert, unless their target market is 8 year old boys.
OMG, sadly for all of us that actually have VW's/Audi's we can attest that a New VW is most certainly better than a used VW. By the time you finish paying for timing belt replacements, window regulators, engines dying from oil sludge, Alarm system malfunctions, electronic gremlins, various unknown workshop codes, steering rack replacements, hazard/turn signal relay replacement, constant interior rattles, you could have purchased a new VW product with warranty. But damn they make funny promos!
Having a gratuitous laugh at someone else's expense, just to prove some moot point, is not smart marketing.
Way to go, Volkswagen: alienating a significant part of your target market.
Which idiot in the marketing department approved this idea? Pleased I don't have a television and haven't seen the ad until now. I'd be less likey to even watch a program if I knew this ad would appear, that's how irritating it is.
It really is ridiculous and shows how much power blacks have gained, not only in South Africa, but UK and USA. They use their skin colour and past repression from whites as a way of gaining more rights than anyone else in society. Guess what, just in the same way nigros use the word cracker or honkey, I'm going to refer to them as niggers, porch monkeys, coons or kaffers (the South African equivalent of the world nigger).
discrimination begets discrimination. solving one wrong w/ another is just plain fucked up, and doesn't make anything better. this is just a commercial people, get over urselves!!
I guess you've made a good point, even though it's ironic that this commercial reflects an actual social trend: that of blacks taking advantage of their skin colours in order to gain more rights than whites.
everyone just needs to lighten up and realize that skin color means nothing, it's the culture and beliefs that's behind different groups that makes it such a big deal. essentially, we are all the same.
I agree. Anyone who knows the crime levels in South Africa would probably feel vulnerable carrying their shopping through a deserted parking lot. ANYBODY hooting in the car next to you is likely to give you the heebie-jeebies, soft or loud.
And wasting food, in a country where millions of people are malnourished, is not respectful.
Not clever. Not funny. Not good advertising.
I'd be LESS likely to buy a Volkswagen, new or used, as a result of this ad.
I don't think it was clever. You think differently.
That doesn't make me a twat.
Or you, for that matter.
We just have different opinions. I'm sure the world will survive, notwithstanding.
I KNOW it's a commercial. It says so in the title, just in case anyone hadn't worked it out. I just don't think it's a very GOOD commercial. They risk alienating a significant portion of their target market.
Lame, puerile gag.
Were you involved with this? Is that why you're taking it so personally?
Despite the insult there, you earned a coherent reply because you are one of the very few people on Youtube who can manage an entire sentence without knackering the spelling to the extent that the meaning is lost.
So, kudos to you.
And I am so NOT a twat. I'm going to tell my mom on you. And chuck you with a stone.
Dalk 'n DOOS. Ja, miskien dit. Maar geen soutpiel getwattery vir my nie. Nee sies, man.
LOL. Thank you ROB. I notice your grammar and spelling are faultless too, which I would assume is a result of the high standard of eduction one used to receive in the RSA of old.
You have lost me on the Afrikaans bit, I can tell you that!
Ahh kaffir land. glad I emigrated in 1992. Black-matic dooses there will rob you, rape you and kill you and not necessarily in that order.

Corrupt200. Shut your trap you oxygen thief.
You don't understand South African humour, you probably haven't even been to Africa let alone South Africa.
Yes there are problems in SA, but people get along just fine. Shut up before you make a bigger fool out of yourself.

With all the faults you have just listed, I would not be tempted to a buy a NEW VW/AUDI product, warranty or no warranty!.
I have had VW's in the past, and never had problems, but I know they do give major problems and are expensive to repair. Ditto Audi.
