It's quiet like that at 2:30-3:00AM, obviously when they shut down the streets to film this ad. I regret to say that I haven't done it in six years.
The thing I'm wondering is why use this to advert a car sold in Britain? Why not show it cruising London at 3am?
Thanks for posting this Ad, Murilee.
I really appreciate it.
I really don't understand the poem to be honest with you-- though my girlfriend did wander in, demanding to know why I was listening to "some crazy indian", she assumed it was about "the great spirit" or something...

For the Golf, this is definitely the tail wagging the dog. I would have actually found it more plausible creatively if it were a Beetle. I can see Thomas and even Ginsberg driving a Bug--a Golf, not so much.

I'd buy it if they actually used that as a commercial. I bet VW Polo carbombings would drop drastically.
