I don't know if you have seen one of the new commercials from Volkswagen but it is highly disturbing. So much so that I don't even know what model the ad is for. It shows two guys going on a road trip. Instead of listening to music they pop in a language cd. I'm fine with that. after a thirteen hour drive they pull into a gas station, hop out of the car and begin to speak fluent...spanish? Ah that's right, the language of the great engineering country of Spain and the third world engineering juggernauts of the western hemisphere.
Well Volkswagen, in answer to the Was ist los question I say das ist schisse. Fire your ad agency and the people that approve such a campaign. Look to your roots. German is the language of top notch engineering. In fact, were it not for German engineering the allies would never have defeated Germany in WWII. Hows that for irony.
Prost!
