The durability commercial
I had this video of a car commercial (VW Polo) passed around to me awhile ago, and have passed it to some friends... and I really, really want to know who made it. :/ Some say it's a viral ad, some say it's a group trying to make a name for themselves in the ad industry, which has happened before. If it came from a real ad agency... jesus, their balls must be scraping the ground when they walk, just to come into work and suggest it, and getting it signed off on by the upper-ups. It puts the old 'evil twin' commercial to shame.

Holy Shit. That was so fucking wrong. The production values are so high I was sure it was real. That could be so damaging to the company if anyone thought they DID put it out. I laughed though, but damn.

I didn't laugh, at all.

I think whoever created that is going to find they made a 'splash' but it is not the kind they wanted.

You link to a place that says exactly who made the ad, and you wonder who made it. How drunk are you? :)
Snopes.com comes through again. They already have an article up on the site with names of those allegedly responsible: http://www.snopes.com/photos/commercials/vwpolo.asp. The article includes excerpts from the guardian on these "two creatives trying to make a name for themselves."
