Here's another one Chevrolet pulled after paying a ton to have Guy Ritchie (Madonna's husband) make it, after only a few airings during the Olympics. Apparently, consumer safety groups protested saying "This ad is certainly among the most dangerous, anti-safety messages to be aired on national television in recent years."

they are both awesome, thanks! I love when the 2 kids wink at each other in the second one, which I don't think was bad at all...

The first one was quite funny, and obviously not made in America (right hand drive on the car).

I also didn't see a problem with the 'vette commerical. It was cute.

I think I saw the Vette commercial. I would like to know in what countries they played that VW commercial. Considering the number of terrorist attacks in Europe in the recent past, and the large Arab and North African populations, I just can't imagine a country where they could run it.

I've seen the corvette commercial several times in the past. I just figured it had run its course as a commercial didnt realize there would be controversy behind it!

Searching for the Mustang "Cornfield" commercial is how I found The Cellar! Been wanting to chase down the trunk monkey- didn't realize there were several. Cool!

None. And VW plans to sue.
