That ad is beyond offensive, right over into downrigth scary!!
It reminds me of how the show Cops constantly portrays violations of the law by cops as a tactic to normalize civil rights violations. This ad just wants to make us all accept the new facist state. My answer? Hell No!

I don’t see how this AD can be taken any other way, but with the parody it was intended for, while at the same time hawking their vehicle as being in compliance notwithstanding the insanity of manmade GW.

Clean Diesel,YEH!!!! Love it. Should have showed more of the car. The Q3, A3 diesels are not even here yet. I waited for almost 2 yrs to get a clean diesel. G was to tall, Q waited too long, X was a perfect fit and timing.

Is this the ad that copped that great Cheap Trick single from 1979, "Dream Police?" I can't get that song out of my head.

I think Jacob Laksin has completely missed the point and is taking the advert way too seriously.

I found it not offensive, but scary. I do not know what point they were trying to make. From a marketing point of view, it was great. It was the best superbowl ad since Apples 1984. Showing us a glimpse of a facsist future (Hitler had "green police" as well), it shocks me that some WANT this future.

I think his response to the ad could be the funniest thing to come out of the Superbowl Ads!

Sorry, Mr. L.
You may not be a leftie… but you are acting like one.
See my sarcasm? Hmm? See it now?

Thought not.

Just look at the author's picture. Bow tie and all… I am sure he finds almost nothing funny. He looks like the typical leftie who considers himself an intellectual and above the little people. How could they find this funny?

Here's a tip… because it was. The only reason you find it offensive is because you see YOURSELF as one of the Green Police… and you were personally (in your opinion) mocked.

Think about it… there's nothing I said that isn't true… right, Mr. Laksin?
You cannot be mocked, because you are morally superior… right?

LOL.
Sorry for that LOL… I was just mocking your picture.

Are you kidding me? The ad was to show America that the TDI engine is the best clean burning engine you can get. America is slow to warming up to diesel and this is a great step by Audi to try to convince them that it is better for the environment than any regular gas burning engine. You missed the point!
