There's been a bit of buzz about a real-looking Volkswagon advertisement which has been circulating the net.

Short story is the ad portrays an Islamic homicide bomber's attempt to murder people at a restaurant and the attempt backfires on him due to the toughness of VW Polos.

There's been some debate over the ad's taste. I found the premise to be in pretty poor taste, but ended up chuckling when I saw the video. Now I see it as another dumbass terrorist hoisting his own petard due to his ineptitude.

Is the ad real, or isn't it?
