Funny or not

Funny or not here it comes


Actually I don't get it, we pay billions for the awareness of the endangered species, and simply a well respected company like VolksWagen just symbolize the power of it's vehicle and space by putting an imprisoned or kidnapped elephant which is by no concept funny, I don't know correct me if I'm wrong

German sense of humour.

I don't find it funny, they also have an ad where a terrorist sets off a bomb in the car..they "Volkwagon" do push the limits when it comes to humor

Michele said...

Egads! I'm not impressed at all with this ad.

@shlemazl

@tom
Welcome to my humble blog.
Actually the one that the bomber blew himself was done in the UK and it was funny untill the terrorists attacked the subway then it turned provocatif :S

@Michelle
exactly my point, shoking picture with no clear message.

I agree; not funny.

wtf? Not funny at all. Especially for a SA, we had a huge scandal a couple of years back about elephants who were being abused and beaten in captivity.Not funny VW.

The ad is obviously directed at Hisbollah or Hamas. "VW Touran, for all your kidnapping transportation needs"

i'd like to know all the thought that went into putting this picture out.

Never mind how they really feel about it, didn't they anticipate how others could feel?

Nice blog btw!

I assure u that humor can not be easily delivered. But dont underestimate any message u recieve in broadcasting, i believe everything is intentional. i dont think humor is behind this add.I definitely agree that it is not funny.it aims to provoke some weird feeling of amaze @ the power of volkswagon.actually it creeped me.the background and the small bulb in the ceiling...they could have imprisoned the elephant in a cage or a zoo.dunno. u really had me thinkin a lot about it, and still am.
