Polo suicide ad

danger @ 6:28 pm

An ad for VW polo, no idea if it’s actually real, but it seems a bit close to the bone - there’s definately going to be people with a serious problems with it.

Polo suicide ad. (Via.)

Update: Seems to be gone, link just produces a 404 at the moment.

Update #2: It’s back.

  2. The video seems to be generating 404’s all the time, not sure if its just cause its getting hit by high bandwidth or because the hosters have decided to remove it.
