That's remember me and ad for the Golf few years ago in Qu�bec: "Tasse-toi
mon oncle" almost the same meaning as "Get out of my way uncle". The ad was
on the air for a while. Lots of peoples complained at Volkswagen Canada
about the negative aspect of this ad. It was finally removed after four
young boys in a golf was killed in an accident on the highway close to my
place. The high speed was the cause...
