I don't believe for one moment the claim from VW that it possesses no knowledge of such compaign and the making of said commercial. Someone high up must've okay'ed it...

That's BS, VW Paid For the Ad

The filmmakers were not only paid for making the film, but they <br />had access to a brand- new Polo as well. Who else would throw <br />around the money to make something like this? Great marketing <br />ploy really, especially the denial part...<br /><br /><a class="jive-link-external" href="http://www.rense.com/general62/suibm.htm" target="_newWindow">http://www.rense.com/general62/suibm.htm</a>
