Is that genuine? Oh, and I gotta say, I love that I can look at these on my Droid now instead of waiting until I get home from work.

Are they saying the greens are fascists and going to run amok so better be prepared or are they endorsing this kinda thing? It's kinda funny but I was curious what they were going for.

Reminded me of the Will Ferell bit he did on "Green Team" where they'd just beat the hell out of people for environmental infractions.

I saw it on TV the other day, it's one of the douchiest commercials I've ever seen...

Not Truth.com bad, but still really awful.

I could see the attempt at humor but I think it fell flat.

Yeah not too funny, and slightly prophetic to some people's tastes/thoughts.

If that's prophetic, what was this?

I thought the ad was inventive. It's trying to be a "green ad" while still being able to make fun of itself. Well done Audi.

Yeah, It seems grim to me. I don't think it's necessarily a hyperbole of what some people want.

I thought ticketing the cops was kind of funny though.

It wouldn't be so clean burning without the pain in the *** addblue.

I am a pretty avid recycler but this just raises my hair up to think we're probably going this way.

10 more years and they should smarten up enough to start mining all the landfills.
