They switched to the same ad agency that made the creepy "WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW" Burger King guy. The Slate guy was complaining about it yesterday and I tend to agree. I miss the Jung at Heart ad from 98ish

One of the last things they did with their former agency (Arnold) was a series of 120 short films for the new Passat, one film for each of the car's features. The studio I work for did about 20 of them, so if you allow me to pimp our stuff while we're on the subject, here's the minisite.

The Slate guy

He's great, isn't he?  He even replied to a drunk email.

Yes, I drunk email occasionally, even marketing critics.  I also drunk dial.  I'm better now than I used to be, because friends have intervened.

Don't apologize, at least not to me.

I will always love that series of commericals.  While some songs might not have been the best music out there, they were absolutely perfectly meshed with the visuals.

Also, that's when I learned the true power of downloadable music - I didn't have to buy a CD by Trio.

There's an Elastica version of Da Da Da that's in in english and I have to say that understanding the lyrics doesn't add much.

That's funny - Trio's "Da Da Da" was one of the first songs I ever downloaded in mp3.

Also, when I started listening to mp3s Elastica's version had not been recorded yet.  And I bought "The Menace" on CD but ripped it to Minidisc to listen to while on the train.

I really like Volkswagen's old print ads personally. You guys have to see these. They're are funny because VW is so honest! No bullshit about it, they make fun of themselves for being ugly and slow, but know that reliable and cheap sells (sold). 

An example: The main line to a Karmann Ghia ad, "It looks beautiful because Volkswagen doesn't build it."

Why thank you. But see, it is the Bug that gives it the "Awww" factor.

Begging your pardon, Miss, but I don't think so.

I am a huge fan of the "WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW" ads. If I could get my hands on that mask, there would be SO MUCH PRANKING to be done. My girlfriend would dump me.
