Also a brave ad, since the hippie left, big VW buyers, would not like the humor in this ad since it mocks Teddy's second degree murder episode at Chappaquiddick.

"...a potpourri blog... a mash-up of retro stars, LA stories, forgotten details, well-worn memories, breaking scoops, all mixed in with a little spritz of analysis. (And damn---excellent grammar and sentence structure from our host!! That you certainly won't find on too many media blogs.)" --Anonymous commenter, 10.24.07
"Dear Burt: While you always had quite a flair for the dramatic, you never had much regard for the truth... Apparently you can't be bothered to read anything carefully. Maybe that is why you, like O'Reilly, make half your crap up.
Glad to hear you finally got sober." -- Barry Nolan, 04.12.08
"Hey! Who said Burt got sober?" -- Tabloid Baby, 04.12.08

Great ad by VW.
VW was making really witty ads during that era.
Also a brave ad, since the hippie left, big VW buyers, would not like the humor in this ad since it mocks Teddy's second degree murder episode at Chappaquiddick.
The ad was a National Lampoon parody. Volkswagen sued.
Yeah but it's funny
LTHTT... Touche Tabloid Baby!
