I hated the audi ad. It made it look like the best thing to do is to go along with the green nazis. I am sick of people telling me what to do, what kind of friggin bag to use, etc, particularly when the sum total effect of it all is zilch. If that's audi's thing, I'd rather buy from government motors. The dodge ad was better but a bit overdone. I thought there were two great ads, just not those two. The first was the Favre ad. He has milked that whole can't make up my mind thing for the Sears ads before, but this one was brilliant. The other great ad was the Puxnastany Poulamolu ad. I have to admit I laughed out loud when they pulled him out of the hole. Funny thing is though, I don't which companies sponsored either ad. So they entertained me but totally wasted the money.
I have a ton of respect for Tim Tebow and his mom, but I thought the ad was lame. I would hope I could have come up with a real tear jerker grabber ad with that background, not something as bland as they did. I think Focus on the Family, which paid for it, can thank the pro abortion zealots for getting them 100 times the attention they would have received otherwise. The ad itself was over almost before I realized that was the Big Controversy Event.
LOL The green police. Come on how you could you hate that ad. I thought it was funny. You never know it could happen one day.
Both those ads sucked. The Dodge one was totally lame. A bunch of losers admitting they're spineless turds. New Dodge slogan- "If you're a total zero, we've got a car for you"!!!
Don't get me wrong, the green police concept was funny, but their endorsement of the Audi car as ecofreak friendly gave me the wrong idea: That the idea of a green police is acceptable by Audi's standard.
I think the idea of Green Police was satirical, which meant that Audi didn't exactly support them, but only made fun of them. In the end though, Audi did market its green qualities so all it does is confuse the consumer. It's really an exercise in trying to think what the brand represents for you, and in that way Audi was very successful.
