It will never see the light of day in N. America, but I do see the humour in it!

I'm ok with it. It's funny and let's be honest, you've seen far worse crap on TV before.

Does he want to "off" himself because the warranty just expired and he now realizes the fortune it will cost to keep the thing running?!

One night when my mom was a teenager, my Grandfather went out into the family garage and committed suicide with the family car and a dryer vent hose. Just sayin'.

I'm not one way or the other about that ad, but I don't know what she would think about it.

Poor Germans, no guns or dirty cars to kill themselves with.

But the Germans are an inventive people. I'm sure they'll think of something.

I do have a dark and dry sense of humour but I dont think this is all that funny. especially in light of the current economy and I bet a higher than normal suicide rate.

I am liberal when it comes to expression of arts which advertising is part of. This is well beyond my comfort zone and really disgusting that there is no more effort at creating an effective ad to portray the car runs clean.

Now on the other hand I have a few birds and a cat that I would have liked to send to the auditions for the Ka commercials. Yes I really disliked the cat that much. Try putting on shoes that a cat pissed in

I found the audi christmas lights ad interesting. The only family on the block not putting lights up, instead use their black audi headlights for light. i could care less for x mas lights, but found the ad oddly off putting. black audis headlights only on xmas, hmmm WWII
