For the love of...   This has nothing to do with commercials.   Are the
VW fast commecials stupid?  Yes.  Are people stupid?  Yes.  Does
everyone do everything they see in commercials?  No.  Even if we didn't
have commercials showing us that it's cool to drive fast, would people
do it?  Absolutely.
