Suicide Also Sells
I was supposed to be done blogging tonight so I could attend to several of the nearby virgins who keep dangling grapes in front of my mouth, but I need to balance the scales amongst the ad execs, software testers, parents of aspiring comedians, and . . . and spouses of Smith graduates . . . yeah, them too, even if they also happen to be ad execs.
So without further ado, and mindful of the suicide bomber motif for the evening, if you haven't seen it yet click here and follow the "VW ad link" to view an ad parody of a VW model sold in Europe. Then check out Jeff Jarvis, who says VW is badly mistaken to be going beserk over it.

I'm trying to understand the concept of customers who create commercials (even if they're parodies) without getting paid for them. It ranks with talk show hosts who give audience members new cars as advertising specialties. I think I'm going to move to a beach shack in Tahiti and take up painting.
