VW apologies for a “ Racist add “ - video contained
So apparently Volkswagen is in hot water again for airing an “ offensive add in Europe “. Near as I can tell it’s this one :




Less than 25%
“V Volkswagen issued an apology after pulling a 10-second advertisement and admitted the ad was racist following public outcry over racist overtones, numerous sources reported.

The ad was published on Instagram and shows a giant white hand moving around a black man before flicking him into a cafe called “Petit Colon,” which translates to “little settler,” according to Deutsche Welle. “

Lol. Wow no takers eh ?

Personally I think this is reaching a bit. If you look for racism hard enough you can find it anywhere. Like why is the snow only white ? Nature is racist. You can go to ridiculous extremes. But anyway I digress. And I don’t understand the meaning of this commercial at all frankly lol. No idea what point they are trying to make. But it’s not racism in my view. Sigh ... snowflakes.

It is a stupid ad. How does that make anyone want the car? God, what a piece of shit ad. It pisses me off that it is so bad. Fire everyone involved. They are ... I cannot express my disdain for their ad slinging a abilities strongly enough.

It is racist against everyone for thinking that garbage would make us want a car. Or for making us watch that.

Also, The Kids in the Hall should sue the ad agency and VW. (Comedy troupe from Canada, active in the 90s)

That ad is garbage. That is why it was pulled. That is why VW will fire that agency. It is trash.

Not a good move. Lol. I let them crawl onto a paper plate and carefully transport them to the toilet where I quickly dump and flush. Before they can cut the cheese
