The ones where the actor from Fargo...dressed all in white with a shaved head, with a blonde bombshell on his arm, destroys pimped out ricers owned by urban youths before unveiling a shiney new white VW GTI then touting German engineering. (Holy run on sentance, batman!)

I think they are great.  My jewish friend thinks they are the most racist thing he has ever seen. He hates the symbolism. German car, white clothes, white car, shaved head, blonde white female...destoying colorful "pimped out cars driven by multicultural urban youth types.

What does your friend being Jewish have to do with it? I am Jewish, and I find them funny as hell. So do the other Jewish people with whom I have happened to see the commercial.

I love them!  Politically incorrect, but not in a way that most typical lefties would probably spot.  I love the rice rocket put on the trebuchet and smashed.

German engineering in da house ya!

Your friend is uber-sensitive.  

What does he find funny?....this should be good...

To me the "white" symbol is just plain, as in plain old good.  Not the good in the moral sense but in quality.  All show and no go is the multi-color pimpsters.

The crazy way he looks at it misses the fact that the "white power" folk usually dress in black.

The shaved head is just symbolic of the german "gang" versus the "urban" hip-hop "gang".  Shaving your head is pretty normal and tame in this day and age.

What's he got against blondes, or did he notice that they had blue eyes too.!!!!

I found the commercials mildly amusing before I read your friend's take.

Now I am head over heels in love with the commercial. Your friend sounds like one of those assholes who thinks 8 ball is a racist conspiracy too... one player takes out all the coloreds while the other takes out the half-breeds until ol' blackie remains for dessert.

Add the "Klansmen holding the Veni Vidi Vicci banner" on the pack of Marlboros and you have a full house.

Anything that is really funny is bound to offend somone.

A German exec actually had some really funny takes on
MSNBC the other night.  

He was saying that it was all a send up of German uptightness
as contrasted with American culture....The whole
campaign is actually brilliant.

Is he in Israel killing Palestinians on a daily basis and doing his damndest to prevent the next holocaust? Somehow I doubt it.

Those commercials are great. They make fun of ricers, and that is good.

Someone needs to ridicule the dimwits with their "Dubs" next. But that's another topic.

I like the new radio commercials for VW much more than the TV commercials.


Dealer: "Hey, did you know that this car was featured in the movie [deleted]?"


"German VW engineer" w / requisite accent: "Really? That can't be. This car's not fast, and it's making me furious."

The MOST RACIST thing he has ever seen??  


Has he been blind and deaf his whole life, and watched the VW commercial right after he regained his vision and hearing?

I guess if you really, really stretch it, and make all kinds of unreasonable assumptions, perhaps some slight "racism" could possibly be symbolically inferred from those commercials.  Although even then, it seems to be more about the clean germans being hostile to urban CULTURE, and nothing to do with race.  But that's still a HUGE stretch.

But the "most racist"?  Wow - your friend has an unusual and unique perspective, that's for sure.




Or, alternatively, he's a complete idiot.

Hell, the actor isn't even German! I think he's from Sweden. Somebody find out what his name is and look up his screen appearances. Just a fookin' commercial! Tell your Jewish friend he's being stupid.

Holy crap, is that the same guy? I thought he was actually German (that's a pretty good fake accent).

BTW, I love those commercials. Pretty much anything that blatantly trumps old-style German "uptight" engineering over the modern "gangsta" rice-burner culture is awesome in my book.

VW should pay the guy and use that ad here in the US.  Every ARFCOMER would then go out and buy a Polo.

Wait a second.  If you look at this actor's filmography you see he was once in a movie about Hitler.   Am I the only one who see's the vast right wing (racist) conspiracy envisioned by your friend?

Apparently, realism is racism...if you're white.

Stormare has range.  He played the Russian Cosmonaut in that abortion of a movie called Amrageddon.  He and Steve Buscemi were the only reasons to watch that piece of trash.
