Audi green police – Audi’s New Mantra “Green Police”
Feb 9 2010
Audi has always raked up good stature in terms of ad placement and content. In the latest Superbowl 2010 Audi came up with the latest and most Hip concept of all “Go Green”. Audi green police – Audi’s New Mantra “Green Police”
In the one-minute ad, ordinary citizens are arrested for using plastic instead of paper, throwing away batteries, not composting orange rinds, using incandescent light bulbs and setting their hot tub thermostats too high. All this happens while Robin Zander sings redone lyrics to Cheap Trick’s ’70s classic The Dream Police.
If you’re looking to view some of the Super Bowl commercials before the big showdown on Sunday, here is the latest one from Audi. Labelled as the "Green Police" this commercial is funny and enjoyable but is a move in a different direction from last year’s blockbuster commercial with Jason Statham and their new Audi A6.
Green is the new way to be hip and the commercial is good but it just doesn’t have the awe factor from last years. If you’re not driving Audi’s new TDI’s vehicles the "Green police" will be coming for you.
Even Leading up to Sunday’s game, Audi created a series of public service announcements, one of which rails against "napkin abuse" and urges people to save a billion pounds of paper from landfills each year by using one napkin at a time.

I actually did catch that commercial, when I was preparing a bit o' mac and cheese for a movie I was watching in another room.
Man I was fucking pissed, the people that were watching it didn't get the ad at all.
I think they were just to drunk, I should have asked them how won the game, they probably wouldn't know.
You know what really, fuck adui I think I will start to wipe my ass with non-recycled triple ply toilet paper, eat an extra helping of steak, and just say fuck no to recycling.
In the area of Florida I live in there are no recycling laws, so I don't. Fuck off hippies, nothing you can do about it too.

They should take a poll to see the ratio of people who thought it was intended to warn people of the coming police state, to those who thought it was encouraging it.
I thought it did both. For almost all of it, I thought it was a dark comical look at the near future, a sort of warning. Then in the last 10 second, I was just confused by how stupid the people who wrote it must be if they thought it was supposed to give some warm fuzzies.
Weird shit. I'm starting to believe the the fascists actually KNOW they're fascists and are looking forward to it.
I loved the ad. It showed a dystopian vision of the future when the Gaia worshipping eco-nazis get what they want for us all. What a hell they would make life for everyone.

The ad is bollocks - gas engines are environmentally friendly thanks to their low emissions, while diesels emit a load of particles (the smaller ones, about 35% of the total, are not filtered by the particle filter - and they are the really dangerous ones !) and NOx.

I don't think there will be a Green Police in the near future but more some eco-militias of young kids who will enter in the houses to control how you live. Red Khmers like.
Cue the Green nuts who really just want to control your behavior... saying, but that's not 'true' recycling and some portion of it has to be rejected because it is too dirty.
Cue the paper industry saying, but we'll lose jobs because of it!!!
I saw it and it irritated the crap out of me. It would not make me want to buy an audi POS. Far from it, a commercial like that fills me with the urge to buy a fleet of 7 mpg vans and burn tires all day long.
Time to hoist the black flag and start slitting throats

There's another ad by some food mega-producer, talking about some euro shithole who have made some kind of fat illegal. They say something almost exactly like "that sounds like a good law to us".
I wanted to jump through the screen and stab them in the face.

When you think of it, its its not only the eco-facsists that we should be spooked about in this commercial, but its the thought that there are PC police that would do this if they had the chance.
