Wait…. Using sex to sell products that aren’t necessarily themselves sexual in nature? Hmmm… Well, it SOUNDS crazy at first, but when you think about it for a while you realize that it could very well work!

Those VW folks are really innovative!

Have you ever tried to do it in a vee dub? Not easy. Aside from the rare camper van, it’s almost an impossiblility.

Y’know, I don’t think it’s possible to get crazier than this.

What, you think MalKKKin instructing her readers to brew their own beer isn’t crazier?

Ted Bundy discussed before his death how he became addicted to pornography through soft-core magazines and believed his violent outbursts were prompted by that addiction.

That’s good enough for me! If you can’t trust the word of a convicted necrophiliac, who can you trust?

“Y’know, I don’t think it’s possible to get crazier than this.”

If Coach Dave and Pamela somehow merged together to form the ultimate superwingnutt I think that’d beat this. It’s hard, but I kinda shudder at thought of hearing how those Jewish Anti-Semites are Spaghetti Pushers.

In their rush to blame the boobies, they ignore the fact that Ted Bundy was a VW driver. MAYBE IT WASN’T THE PORN!

Have you ever tried to do it in a vee dub? Not easy.

Dood, me and my ex wife (neither one of us exacty “petite”, if’n ya know what I mean) did it my RX7. Ok, mostly OUT of the RX7, but the point is, where there’s a will, there’s a way.

Ted Bundy discussed before his death how he became addicted to pornography

Yep, tha’s right. I like porn. I’ve killed people. See? The logic is inescapble.

Oh, and I had a job about ten years ago that required me to hire some designers/flash developers. Now I’m not saying that the ONLY requirement was to be hot, but I did end up serendipitously with Kathy, Amy, Theresa and Kim, and they were damn hot. Er, designers. What did you think I meant?

mikey

Spawn of Coach Dave and the shrieking harpy versus Spawn of Assrocket and the shrill harpy?

Just think of all the Miller Genuine Drafts that match could sell! And what if we made a league of their own?

Someone oughta send a little note reminding them that Volkswagen was Poppy Nazi’s inspired creation. That’d make them all happy with the brand. Now there’s a guy who knew what to do with degenerate imagery.

Yeah, but getting banged on the hood of one works okay. Don’t tell the Decency Society or whatever.

Err..
“The American Decency Association website addresses issues involving pornography and cites a study noting confessed mass killer Ted Bundy discussed before his death how he became addicted to pornography through soft-core magazines and believed his violent outbursts were prompted by that addiction. He eventually was executed in Florida.”

Ted Bundy believed soft-core pr0n led to him being a psychokiller. You are taking the word of a psychokiller??

Sounds right to me….

Volkswagen of America has launched a new advertising campaign about its “Rabbit� vehicle using Playboy “bunnies� and the appeal of “promiscuity� and “fornication.�

Ah, scarequotes. I’d respect them more if they’d left the quotes off of “promiscity” and “fornication” and added them to “appeal”.

Oh, wait. No. I’d just laugh at them. Still, it doesn’t mean I would respect them *less*. I can’t, really.

You are taking the word of a psychokiller??

Well, yeah. Of course they are. He seemed like an honest guy, decent enough. I mean, he was white and Christian and straight. That’s gotta count for something, right?

Volkswagen “of” America has launched a new advertising campaign about its Rabbit “vehicle” using Playboy bunnies and “the” appeal of promiscuity and fornication.

How’s that, D.Sidhe?

Warning! Click on this link at the risk of your immortal soul!

Volkswagen “of� America has launched a new advertising campaign about its Rabbit “vehicle� using Playboy bunnies and “the� appeal of promiscuity and fornication.

How’s that, D.Sidhe?

Heh. Indeed.

Mister Notorious P.A.T., I have to agree with “anonymous” commontater number Deux.

That mating dance in the commercial is HAWT! There’s nothing sexier than a bunch of cars driving in circles. Oh yeah.

“If the bunnies take off their tops on TV, I’m a VW driver for life. Thanks,”

I will be a VW driver for life is any top ranking executive of the company bares his/her buttocks at an American Decency spokesperson.

“Yep, tha’s right. I like porn. I’ve killed people. See? The logic is inescapble.”

Everyone who likes porn and is not a murderer, raise your hand!

I thought so.

Between Speedy Gonzalez and the Playboy bunnies my next car might be a VW

Why not cut to the chase? Just mix some old clips and have Ted Bundy be the spokesperson for VW America. And wasn’t the Tedster a Republican anyway?

Res Publica with the bonnet lovin’. Good point.

Two things:
1. The Bunnies worked at the Playboy Clubs, which I believe disappeared years ago. Not exactly on the cutting edge here.
2. If I remember the Ted Bundy TV movie (was it Mark Harmon?) the serial killer drove a VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE! There’s your proof people.

They’re just pissed because of those Rabbit commercials with a white Rabbit and a black Rabbit running around, backing into a tunnel, and coming out with cute gray Rabbits, speckled Rabbits, etc. It’s unnatural, I tell you. Soon you’ll be seeing Rabbit makeout commercials, commercials featuring hot Rabbit-on-Rabbit action, Rabbits going up the wrong tailpipe. What will the children think?

“The leadership at VW of America should be embarrassed,� one person who contacted American Decency said.

OK name that One Person!!one1!

Just another excuse to bump the shrill harpy, people, nothing to see here.

Oh hell, they should come to Dallas! Last year was cheerleaders. This year our city council is trying to make it illegal to wear baggy pants that show ones underwear!

Not that that’s my style, but like our police haven’t got enough to do stopping real crimes. Now they’ll have to issue citations for underwear!

NEXT!

Pantload: Not only was Bundy a Republican, he was a Republican volunteer. He answered phones for them. And given what I know about how he picked his victims, I sometimes wonder if the GOP wasn’t indirectly responsible for some of them.

I think someone owes the country an apology.

Ted Bundy/ You mean the Young Republican from Seattle? If memory serves, the first pornography he drew inspiration from was the Coppertone ad of little girl(topless)at beach whose swimsuit was being tugged at by a cute puppy…being a psycho-killer wasn’t the only option….he could have grown up to be Man-on_dogSenator…lol

…or, maybe his daddy took James Dobsons advice and intimidat3ed him with his big penis in the shower?

Ha! Boy is Volkswagan in for a sorry suprise, when they find out the hard way just how much sex doesn’t sell anything at all!
Now, if you all will excuse me, I have reasons to believe that drinking budweiser will make hot chicks appear in my backyard and love me.

…so lonely…

Game over, man, game over! What chance does a tiny, insignificant company like Volkswagon have against the monolithic presence that is the American Decency Association?

VW and Playboy? That is old news. The real crime is Day by Day and their gratuitous exploding VWs.

Volkswagen “of� America has launched a new advertising campaign about its Rabbit “vehicle� using Playboy bunnies and “the� appeal of promiscuity and fornication.

I could see the wingnuts writing that.

Because, you know, Volkswagon only *says* they’re Americans, but they’re *not*, they’re probably traitors, and I sure wouldn’t call those *vehicles*, don’t hippies drive them? And, off the record, there’s more than one thing appealing about promiscuity and fornication, like slut-shaming, picketing women’s clinics, and hating on the gays.

I blame McDonalds for widening waistlines. I remember the days before quarterpounders when we could easily ‘do it’ in the back seat of a Fiat or a Datsun or a Pinto.

Hey tune,

Those are “Hamburger Royales” not quaterpounders. We’re french around here, ya know.

“We definitely wanted to keep the male promiscuity of the rabbit in there,” said Rob Strasberg, of MDC Partners, the Miami agency working on the ad plan, told Adweek.
“The big thought was getting VW to bring the Rabbit back, because we love it. It’s playful and fun. It wasn’t a leap to go from rabbits to fornication and multiplying,” Strasberg said.

I’m less amazed by the craziness of the American Decency Association–I mean, come on, why don’t they just call themselves the No Screw Society–but I cannot, in a million years, ever believe that an ad agency representative said the above. “Fornication”? Who says that word, and isn’t already a member of the No Screw Society?

I blame McDonalds for widening waistlines. I remember the days before quarterpounders when we could easily ‘do it’ in the back seat of a Fiat or a Datsun or a Pinto.

Take it from someone who’s 6’1″…the issue isn’t so much width as length.

What I want to know is why these people aren’t also all over VW’s ego “emission” campaign. I didn’t even know you could say “emission” on TV before 10 pm.

Everyone who likes porn and is not a murderer, raise your hand!

um, right now, can it wait a minute?

Take it from someone who’s 6′1″…the issue isn’t so much width as length.

Take it from someone who dated a 6’4″ guy and drives a Cabrio… the issue isn’t so much length as lack of motivation.

Everything ever related to sex that is used to sell anything unrelated to sex is morally reprehensible. I’m sure it says so somewhere in some kind of official letter or form.

Has anyone asked the American Dental Association if they want their acronym back?

the American Decency Association? What kind of stick-up-the-ass organization is that?

what is this, puritan-land again?

What I want to know is why these people aren’t also all over VW’s ego “emission� campaign. I didn’t even know you could say “emission� on TV before 10 pm.

After 10 PM? So wait, are you saying only nocturnal “emissions” are allowed?

I’m getting worried about our wingnutty friends.

First Malkin loses it over beer. Not even good beer, Miller beer.

Now, they’re freaking out about VW cars, and Plaboy bunnies. What could be more American and Capitalistic than selling cars with half-naked women?

Meanwhile, the quagmire rages, the economy sputters and sinks, and Bush ‘heh’s his way into infamy… y’know, it’s like they are trying hard to focus on ANYTHING but the important issues.

It can’t be good for them. Before you know it they will be swatting at flying gophers and eating paste….oh, wait.

Tigrismus (and others) – you beat me to the Ted Bundy/VW ref. Those Beetles are dangerous, I tells ya!

And the rest of you, you just crack me up. Keep up the good snark!

I volunteer to determine exactly how immoral the ad campaign is. In fact, I volunteer to supervise the photo shoots, just to make sure everything is on the up and up (as it were).

Rabbit sex!

Laugh if you must (and rightfully so, of course), but this is precisely the sort of “issue” that’s been driving millions of Americans to the polls for years to vote Republican. They think the GOP is going to “do something” about all this indecency.

Of course, it’s been (at least) 25 years now – ever since they first voted for the Gipper in 1980 – and no results to speak of. In fact, things have gotten worse. You’d think they might wise up. But no: WE’D BETTER VOTE GOP SO THEY’LL PUT A STOP TO THIS!!!!1!!

Sigh.

We are not guys. We are hot chicks.

Well, the Democrat Party thinks this is more acceptable than the truth about 9/11.

The Democrat party is working hard to whitewash the true history about how Bill Clinton’s failures caused 9/11 to occur. And they’re even against showing newsclips of that day.

The fact is that the American people, when prompted to the Democrat stand on this issue, will really rally around our President and our nation.

To Democrats, September 11th, 2006 is just another day.

To Republicans, September 11th, 2006 is a day to remind people about the war we’re fighting, and to remind them to not accept the offers of surrender from the left and from the terrorists.

Hey Gary, you tireless terrified little boy! Welcome back. We’ve missed your little droppings around here lately. Still scared as ever of the brown menace I see. Did you carefully check under your bed and in the closet for brown terrorists? ‘Cause like you tell us so often, the US is on the verge of total collapse in the face of a few guys in caves. You really don’t think much of your country, do you?

mikey

Rabbits? Bunnies? Multiplying?

You know if I hadn’t seen Bugs make a sly reference to this in a cartoon from 70 years ago, I would have never made the connection.

Hey Gary: 9/11 happened on Bush’s watch. AFTER HE WAS WARNED!!!

we can’t say that enough, and all the Disney-financed propoaganda you spew will not change the fact.

Bush is too much of an inept coward to do anything about it then, and even now he and Karl Rove can only use it as a political ploy.

They were, and are, cowards and not patriots, Gary, and neither are you, you spineless partisan putz.

Now, back to the half-naked women, which apparently Gary is not in favor of. Sublimate much Gare-Bear?

Hey Gary, go fuck yourself. Are you some ABC/Disney shill? Who was the drydrunk president when two planes brought down the WTC, when one crashed into the Pentagon and when brave Americans fought back & caused the last plane to be crashed?. A real person of integrity and courage would admit that he let his citizens down. Not Bush. He uses surrogates to spread lies, he hides his head in the sand and he cares nothing for the American people.

Plus you have no idea what a Democrat thinks. You have no clue about real patriotism or feelings about 9/11. I know you’re just some little pissant motherfucking troll hiding in some dingy basement so I shouldn’t bother but I just have to say “Fuck you, asshat.” 9/11 isn’t a day to trot out Lee Greenwood songs and Rumsfeld/Cheney/Bush to berate us for being “complacent” about their treasury-looting war of choice.

….And that “Fahrvergnügen” sounds like a dirty word, too! SHAME on you all! S-H-A-A-A-A-A-A-M-E !!!!1!!

Oh get real. Eight-nine months is like 15 minutes in Washington politics time. You expected Bush to do anything about terrorism in only 15 minutes? The fact is the Democrat Party is conspiring with left-leaning clocks and calendars to try to chump the American people into refusing to rally around our President and our nation.

I can’t believe that this conversation has gone on this long without the obvious quote.

And, I use that to fuck them some place very uncomfortable.

What part of the body would be the “Volkswagen?” I can certainly think of more uncomfortable places in which one could get oneself …

Republicans, like Mormons, believe in after-death conversions. Of course, Mormons believe a virtuous act that they do can be imputed to the dead, the Republicans believe they can do nothing and have any virtue or heroism of the dead imputed to them.

To Republicans, September 11th, 2006 is a day to remind people about the war we’re fighting

Wait wait wait! The terrorists are desperate enough to offer their surrender to random people? And we’re not supposed to accept these offers?

How exactly are we supposed to win this war again if we don’t accept offers of surrender from Teh Enemies?

I SURRENDER!!!

The Hell you say. I did it more than once in a ’66 Beetle and I’m 5′-11″ and my girlfriend was 5′-7″. It wasn’t even all that difficult, and it sure was fun. Now doing it in a Miata would be another matter. At least with the top up; with the top down it would be easy.

I recommend all those interested in doing in a car find themselves a 1973 Chrysler Newport. Worked great.

Plus it went 100 mph without even trying hard.

…Profane wandered up by Rachel’s cabin again. He heard splashing and gurgling from the courtyard in back and walked around to investigate. There she was washing her car. In the middle of the night yet. Moreover, she was talking to it.

“You beautiful stud,” he heard her say, “I love to touch you.” Wha, he thought. “Do you know what I feel when we’re out on the road? Alone, just us?” She was running the sponge caressingly over its front bumper. “Your funny responses, darling, that I know so well. The way your brakes pull a little to the left, the way you start to shudder around 5000 rpm when you’re excited. And you burn oil when you’re mad at me, don’t you? I know.” There was none of your madness in her voice; it might have been a schoolgirl’s game, though still, he admitted, quaint. “We’ll always be together,” running a chamois over the hood, “and you needn’t worry about that black Buick we passed on the road today. Ugh: fat, greasy Mafia car. I expected to see a body come flying out the back door, didn’t you? Besides, you’re so angular and proper-English and tweedy – and oh so Ivy that I couldn’t ever leave you, dear.” It occurred to Profane that he might vomit. Public displays of sentiment often affected him this way. She had climbed in the car and now lay back in the driver’s seat, her throat open to the summer constellations. He was about to approach her when he saw her left hand snake out all pale to fondle the gearshift. He watched and noticed how she was touching it. Having just been with Wedge he got the connection. He didn’t want to see any more…

And what does Sept 11th have to do with the war in Iraq?

According to the Decider, “nothing.” In fact, he was just complaining to Katie Couric that “One of the hardest parts of my job is to try to connect Iraq to the war on terror.” — Pres. Bush, CBS Evening News, 9/6/06

Thank God Gary Ruppert is on the case to help shovel the shit.

I love when the fundie dipshits trot out the “porn=mass murder” mantra.

Shit, if it wasn’t for the promiscuous sex and the occasional porn binge when i can’t get the real thing, i probably would have killed someone with all of that unspent testosterone in my blood.

Maybe that’s why for all of their talk about decency and morality and the sanctity of life, most of these fundies seem to be so psychotically humorless and bloodthirsty about everything else.

They might almost approach some semblance of rationality if they all stopped, took five minutes or so, and rubbed one out.

When properly motivated, apparently anything is possible. I always used to feel like I was banging my knees more than anything else. ahem.

Gary said people will “really rally” around the Shrub…. I hope alliteration is not going to become his new thing. His style is annoying enough as it is.

I’m now missing my 67 Chevy Impala. Ah, those were the days. I never experienced a VW, but the Pinto was fun…

So… is it true?

If you get rear-ended in a Pinto, do you go up in flames?

“Hey, Gary, are you aware that many of the people who died in the September 11 attacks were liberals and Democrats? ”

Many in the twin towers were… *gasp*… foreigners!

But as American Heros we can be certain of one thing: They were here LEGALLY!! Dammit!

mikey

I thought of several elegant allusions I could make in regard to the rear-ending in the Pinto, but Sadly, they were all too crude even by my, um, liberal standards… and lame attempts to play off the “hatch-back” thing…

It was a long day today in corporate America.

Let’s see, the Towers contained many lawyers, left-leaning Jews, liberal women, New Yorkers, gays, foreigners, and various ethnic firefighters who tend to vote Democratic and pro-union…. not your Gary Ruppert types at all.

I remember one thing about the morning of September 11th. I had just left the break room at work where I’d been shocked and horrified by the sight of the damage done after the first plane had hit…. and I overheard that jerk shock jock Mancow Muller on my idiot cow-worker’s radio laughing about it, like it was a big joke… You see, when it was still thought to be some sort of bizarre accident, it was funny to that righty, because many wingnuts seem to hate what they perceive New York to be. Of course, after he found out the terraists did it, then he was spitting fire.

After Timmy blew up the Oklahoma City Federal Building, I don’t remember these people ranting and raving that we needed to clear out all the Posse Comitatus and skinheads et al, take it to ’em before they bring it to us. Nope, don’t remember that at all.

Those are “Hamburger Royales� not quaterpounders. We’re french around here, ya know.

You misspelled ‘surrender-macacs’.
Bad for you.
You also misspelled ‘Qatarpounder’
Good for you.

Kinda a toss up when they come to take you away. My advice, just say ‘huh, what the fuck?” a lot and hope for Fidel’s death.

Take it from someone who’s 6′1″…the issue isn’t so much width as length.

sigh, the old length vs girdth argument, Dude, if your cock really is six foot long, and i got my doubts about that, then you got more problems than sex in the backseat of a vw. You probably never squeezed into tight nylon panties and wrestled other men on the american rugby field, eh? At least there is always cheap beer and television.

Suggestions-
1. Take that monster to New York, be there on September eleven and hang it out, that thing is a flagpole, a firehose, slap it metaphorically in the faces of islamofacism, this is what we got, muthafuckers, mess with us you mess with this!
2. Move to the San Fernando valley.
3. If you can find a woman, in these mcdonalds fed times, who can fit horizontally into the backseat of a VW Rabbit, stand outside and throw her a meter or so. You don’t have to have your feet in the car to be ‘doing it’, its just the in-and-out bits that count.

We are so on the same page. Candy, right? God i remember that day, it was after that Jefferson Starship concert? You kept saying ‘Craig is hot’ and i kept sayin ‘ They kinda suck now that Jorma and Jack are gone’ and we did that rear ending thing in the Pinto?
Man, you had a sweet ass.
So what’s up with you now? Long time no see.
