Watch this VW ad for the VW Polo....it features a suicide bomber who ignites himself and the car survives....leading to a tag line, "small but tough." It's been making the rounds at advertising blogs and now it turns out it's a hoax. [Via Daily Dish.]

    Why anyone is surprised it's a hoax, or how anyone believed it was real, escapes me. Even if one thought it might be real, the VW logo at the end is clearly not pristine around the edges and gives the entire thing away as a fake.

    Believe none of what you hear, and only half of what you see and if its on the internet well only adhere to "Part A".
