When this was escaped it caused uproar. Volkswagen and DDB London distanced themselves from it completely. No one wanted to claim responsibility.
Eventually it was revealed as the work of a duo known for their spoof advertising, called Lee and Dan. They have worked on a string of legitimate ads including Ford SportKa, BP and Casio G-Shock, among others. According to them:
"The ad got out accidentally and has spread like wildfire. It wasn't meant for public consumption. We think the spot reflects what people see in the news everyday, and in this instance the car is the hero that protects innocent people from someone with very bad intentions. We're sorry if the ad has caused any offence."
Volkswagen stressed that the clip, which has been doing the viral email rounds forever, was made without any involvement from the company whatsoever.
Some don't believe that at all, and it has been suggested in some quarters that the ad was made and released with specific advertising intentions.
The public must make up their own minds as to what and who they believe.
